Talking Violet - Indigo
Windsor, Ontario dream-pop outfit Talking Violet recently released a lush, glowing song, entitled “Indigo.” Recorded at Chalet Studios in Uxbridge, Ontario, the track was mixed by Justin Meli and mastered by Warren Hildebrand.

According to Addison Herron-Wheeler over at New Noise, “Indigo” is “Just the first taste of a not-yet-announced full-length” album, while Spill Magazine says, “Their new single ‘Indigo’ marks the beginning of the next chapter of the band; with 2 more singles preceding a new album scheduled for release in late 2020.”
Talking Violet comprises Jill Goyeau (vocals, guitar), Jay Turnbull (vocals, guitar), Nate Blackton (vocals, bass), and Jeremie Brousseau (drums).
Speaking to the song, Goyeau told New Noise, “‘Indigo’ is an illustration of nervousness about performance or anxiousness in general, the moments that you feel like you are surrounded by white noise and can barely tell what your limbs are doing. Looking back on situations like this are usually a blur for me, but I wrote ‘Indigo’ because the day that I am referring to had so many tiny moments that I found really reassuring and clear to reflect on.”
“Indigo” is superbly wrought. The highlights of the song are Goyeau’s honeyed tones and the subtle poise of Jeremie Brousseau’s keen drumming.
“Indigo” travels on gently gleaming guitars discharging hazes of jangle-lite colors, followed by the entry of Goyeau’s wistful, almost melancholic, tones, drifting on deliciously gossamer textures. A two-drop drum intro leads into the sinuously gliding rhythm, and Jeremie’s finessed tom-tom accents are perfectly placed, adding rounded accents.
The dreamy, dwelling flow of the harmonics imbue the tune with misty fractals of haloing hues, providing an ooh la la matrix for Goyeau’s exquisitely suspended timbres.
“When the lights hit I can’t remember what’s in front of me / All the eyes feel like a setting sun / But I remember nothing / And feel everything / I think that the waves might take us tonight / We’ll let them and see where we go / A room of indigo is enough for me to know.”
The video, both granular and glittery, serves as a delightful visual counterpoint to the silky-smooth cascading layers of the music.
