of Violet is the nom de plume of Allen Taylor, the resident from Atlanta,
Georgia, USA. This is his first issue which might sound like an ultramodern
rock album though it could be considered “rock” in an indirect sense due to
some examples coming out from the past. For instance, some shoegaze movement
related groups in the beginning of the 90s decided to go beyond the
genre-related borders. For instance, Slowdive`s Pygmalion (1995, Creation) was an abstract issue drifting somewhere
in between experimental rock and ambient. Seefeel was being a combo whose
sounds were channelized into eerie echoes, techno rhythms and abstract noises
to kill their predecessors in a softly yet convincing way. Indeed, Botany Charm EP could be considered a
child of it. More profoundly, it is replete with spaced-out sounds, multiple
layered echoes, noisy yet epic blossoming, concrete and electro-acoustic sounds
running out of focus and from one channel to another. Indeed, Taylor`s result
is uncompromising because all these sounds are elaborated and spliced
masterfully to bring forth the powerful effect ultimately. In a nutshell, the
result is mesmerizing.
