Moody, Dark Pop; haunting and powerful.
Editorial review
Darling Violetta augment their sound and style with strings, horns, and several bassists, for a set featuring nicely placed EFX, crunching guitar chords, and singer Cami Elen's pop-drenched vocals on Parlour. Moreover, they implement a few Beatles-derived studio techniques, ? la Sgt. Peppers and Abbey Road during selected tracks. This outfit has provided soundtracks for TV shows and a PC video game amid videos. Hence, a component of the musicians' collective artistry that should come as no surprise upon listening to their overall studio savvy can be found on the piece titled "Candy Jones," in which Darling Violetta aim at a crossover approach via a nicely rendered potpourri of softly strumming guitars, horns, and strings amid a late-'60s, Beatles-type vibe. They also intertwine straightforward rockers with discordant musings and hallowed themes. To that end, Parlour offers a divergent mix, featuring considerably more than your average rock. Although few of these pieces contain memorable melodies or catchy hooks, the group's intelligent game plan yields fruitful dividends when viewed as a whole. ~ Glenn Astarita, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
"Atmospheric, haunting music-yet they can also rock the roof off-this is a band that can't miss."
Entertainment Today
Best known to television fans as the creators of the captivating theme song to the hit WB television show Angel, DV had songs from their previous albums Bath Water Flowers & The Kill You EP on Buffy the Vampire Slayer & a key position on the soundtrack to the cult classic PC & Playstation 2 video game "Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption". "Spoiled & Rotten" from The Kill You EP reached #12 on CMJ's Top 200 Most Added, & the accompanying video was #10 on CVC Rock/Alternative Video Charts-the only independent band anywhere near the Top 20. Both albums continue to sell long after their initial release.
Parlour captures the band like never before.
