Frozen Heart from Phantom Youth by Violentene

Melting dark 80s synthwave, shoegaze and ethereal vibes seamlessly under Dani Mari’s glittery vocals, Violentene gives you its new ode to innocence lost.

Roland brings an early 80s synth and new wave influence from Japan, Gary Numan, and Cocteau Twins and the guitar shimmer of Johnny Marr and Robert Smith to the mix, while Dani Mari wraps her bittersweet vocals around warm, breathy tones.

Its been a long, deep journey since 2017 and Violentene’s first EP – so many emotions, life challenges, and rethinking / rewriting happened in the interim. A concept album without trying to be one, the vibes are most certainly in line with its title – a yearning for and an ode to innocence lost... and the strength to keep moving ahead.

“Phantom Youth" pulls a love of analog synths, 80s noir-wave, ambient shoegaze riffs, and dreamy vocal flourishes into the mix. Rolands guitars, synths, and beats melt under Danis breathy, bittersweet vocals to mesmerizing effect.

For fans of Drab Majesty, The Cure, Boy Harsher and Cocteau Twins.

Lyrics

Take your time
With my heart
Cuz I'm
Falling apart

Frozen heart
Melting through my hand

Trembling limbs
Shaking by my side
Trembling glances
Terrify my mind

Frozen heart
Melting through my hand

You're a mirror
Of my darkness
Familiar senses
Washed out regret
You're a mirror
Of my darkness

Frozen heart
Melting through my hand
Frozen heart
