Violet Cold - Sommermorgen (2018) EN


It's hard to wrap your head around the new work by the Azeri artist Emin Guliyev or Violet Cold. One of my favourite music projects has made a turn since the last time it appeared on this blog with the blackgazing "Anomie" - this time it is the whole spectre of electronic music with elements of post-rock, folk, ambient, etc, and everything is formed into a trilogy called "Sommermorgen".

The first part, entitled "Innocence", greets us with cheerful chirping of birds which is soon overtaken by the massive drums and then by the airy electronic backgrounds. It comes back from time to time like the innocence's leit-motif. The overall atmosphere of the album fits here, even when it gets really loud, as in "Ein Langer Weg", it is more euphoric than melancholic. The job is done by brilliant synth backgrounds as lively as spring's first green. Even when it comes to a sad, folk instruments sound, it is clear that it's only an introduction to another take-off.

Euphoria and energy rule also the second album. It is devoted to joy and accordingly, there is both the lively wall of sound in "Kopfkino", very danceable rhythm in "Time to Tango" and in "Schöne Dummheit" and everything up to the end.. It is quite a literal metaphor of those endorphin releasing moments as dance or falling in love.

But those are known to end and there is always regret for the finished happiness. So the third album is about melancholy and it is the one, most fans of Violet Cold should find familiar. There are clearer, almost metal guitars, especially in the beautiful "Ein Hauch Von Ewigkeit" but still, there's some of the atosphere from the first two parts. Like a memory of when you were happy.. 

Each of the three parts cost 6 USD.
