Violet"s 4th studio album. Again, the 6 musicians have combined historic influences with innovative impulse. At the same time, "Modern Life" is a great deal more energetic than its predecessor: bagpipes, dulcimer and cembalo have learned to groove. VIOLET have become more eclectic. Rock-orientated dynamics (Exult, Modern Life, Home) meet catchy pop (White, Read My Lips), while psychedelic leanings (Oda a Francisco Solinas), innovative arrangements (Come closer to the fire, Ponderoso Caballero), melancholic vibes (I wonder why) and the typical diversity of sound guarantee the variety and suspense fans have come to expect from the band. Most of the tracks are sung in English; two songs in Spanish.Released April 2009 on Equinoxe.Track List:01 Exult02 Modern Life03 Home04 Wreath Of Barbs05 Oda a Francisco Solinas06 White07 Poderoso Caballero08 Read My Lips09 The Web10 I wonder Why11 Come Closer To The Fire
