Violent Dreams is a moniker of Matt Suter, a London-based artist mostly inspired by the dreamy music genres of the last couple of decades. I know him from 2017's Scared of the Dark and I'm so glad that the new EP, Fall, is as good, as moody and as worth listening to.
Although the name of the project is the same as one of the iconic songs by Crystal Castles, the music here couldn't be more different. It is subtle and dreamy, sounding like Fireflies or Ruby Haunt with all of their love towards slow ballads kept in the intimate atmosphere that is warm, nostalgic and simply beautiful. No wonder that the album is called after the moodiest of seasons, with the fittingly coloured cover art which together with the music makes one, utterly nostalgic whole. The songs are not super melodic but they were not supposed to either; instead, the artist uses repetitive phrases that create the most psychedelic and ethereal parts (like the finish of Holy Ghost). It's really difficult to describe how delicate the vocals and the noisy backgrounds are: if music was matter, Violent Dreams would be spider web at most.
