Violet UltraRay – “graceland”

---

Feels like just yesterday we featured Violet UltraRay, but it was actually way back in November here! Where the hell does the time go? Luckily, we have been graced by “graceland” this month and we’re here for it now, just as we were then. Shoegaze is their specialty and they lean into it here. I definitely dug the bass riff throughout the track which, as per the band, was what the song started and grew from.

 

You can see the music vid for the track below via YouTube. It’s a little avant garde but not ostentatious and it has Elvis in it, which is both appropriate and funny. Speaking to the track, the band said that

 

“…graceland felt like the right metaphor – myth, aspiration, somewhere just out of reach…”
