Jeff Surak has been kicking around various dark corners of the world’s experimental music closet for more than two decades. Now based in Washington DC, his latest projects are solo works done under the name Violet. His newest discographic entry is The Sun Is Shining And The Flowers Blooming On Violet Street (Scarcelight 3″ CD). The three pieces here are cobbled together from a variety of sources. My favourite might well be the modulated snoring that ends the first piece but the mermaidy epiphanies of “Priznak Aluminum (Holiday For Foil)” is pretty hep as well. Anyway, the three tracks here are aggressive at times without being harsh, and they hold together like beautiful rats hugging a sinking ship. Which is a pretty friendly thing to do.
