Bicoastal collaboration Violet Sands with derek muro have just shared their latest irresistible new single via toucan sounds. Called “are you still watching?”, the song marks the first single from Violet Sands this year following their 2023 release of “Desert Rental Home”.
The track “are you still watching?” is a trip hop leaning experimental pop meets electronic banger. Taking influence from the likes of Portishead and Massive Attack, the release has the same cinematic, moody and noirish atmospheric style. The song thrills with chaotic seductive beats, soul-baring vocals and harmonic melodies. Hypnotic and brooding rymths envelop the listener, creating a sense of sonic immersion. Thematically, the “are you still watching?” tells the story of a streaming service that is able to achieve consciousness. Many of our nightmares are realized with the technology hijacking our minds and hypnotizing viewers.
Together Deidre Muro, David Perlick-Molinari and derek muro create genre-defying music that has touched listeners around the globe. “are you still watching?” is no exception with the trio bringing a unique and creative perspective to the Y2K-era technological anxiety. Take a listen now and get lost in the musical bliss.
