Despite this uncanny darkness, it’s clear than an enormous amount of fun has been had making 'Violent'_ The instrumental pallet is huge, with (amongst much else) vocoder rubbing up against timpani; brass duelling with guzheng; fretless bass, slap bass, double-tracked guitars and triple~tracked sax_ Such exuberance remains in the service of the song though ~ and it’s testament to Jennings’ songwriting ability that he can make the listener laugh out loud one second and despair the next_Opener ‘When The Storm Came’ hits with all the invention of Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk and explores an evental eruption from multiple temporalities: a cubist~pop take on a relationship, revolution or both? ‘Cantona’ weaves together a chance encounter with the footballer~cum-actor~philosopher with a painfully honest account of embodied sadness: a dystopian glam romp befitting of its titular hero_ ‘Becoming An Island’ considers time and memory with washes of gorgeous ondes martenot and woodwind_ ‘Yeah, That’s Right’ sees soaring guitars propose some kind of cosmic acceptance_
The second in a proposed trilogy (begun by England Without Rain), 'Violent' combines restless experimentation with stunning songcraft_ Crammed with sonic thrills and thematic ambiguity, it’s another triumph for "Talk Less, Say More" and we’re honoured to be releasing it_
