Windsor, Ontario’s Talking Violet crafts what they’ve dubbed "dreamo" – a captivating fusion of shoegaze haze, grunge’s raw edge, and dream-pop’s ethereal shimmer. It’s grit meets melody in the most beautiful way.
"In Your Mind," their latest offering, perfectly captures this sonic alchemy. The track’s rich textures wrap around an undeniable emotional core that just… hits different.
The song dives deep into those frustrating moments when you desperately want to help someone you love, but you’re essentially powerless. Vocalist Jillian Goyeau puts it perfectly: "I’ve had to learn over time that no matter how much you want to help people, so often it’s really out of your hands."
"They have to be the ones to figure things out, but you can do what you can from a supporting line." That raw honesty crystallizes in the track’s haunting hook – "I wonder if I echo in your mind?"
Coming after their album Everything At Once, which navigated the choppy waters of change, loss, and rediscovery, "In Your Mind" marks another significant milestone in the band’s artistic journey.
