With the release of their debut EP (Skinsuit Communications), and through their mesmerizing live shows, Violenteer continues to push boundaries and confound labels (both literal and figurative), positing an innovative musical commentary on this often dark and sometimes beautiful world. Each song reflects this thoughtful and haunting outlook, conjured up as a collage of guitar or synth-like melodic flavorings that are at times brash, at others a soothing melancholy. All the while, the deep-water dual-bass and drum grooves support the soaring, searching, and often eerie vocal expressionistic sketches that overlay the melodic gloom with a lyrical snarl that reflects the creators’ existential exploration of the complex and fatalist reality in which we increasingly find ourselves. Humming, buzzing, and throbbing with vital energy and a howl into the ether, Violenteer’s music is powerful, arresting, and darkly beautiful, with textures swirling above the foundational dual-bass thrum.
The latest effort from post rock outfit Violenteer, this number was released back in December 2024. The thing that immediately grabbed my attention with this track is the chord progression that, if you listen closely, is a slower tempo, lower octave rendition of the progression from disco legend Nile Rodgers & CHIC’s hit Chic Cheer (I’ve linked it below so you can compare for yourself). As if that weren’t enough to set it apart, Cocaive Man blends together a foreboding post-rock atmospheric approach to the composition with layers of detail, in the style of noise rock. This track personifies the uniqueness that I’m always searching for in features!
