Album Notes

Silent Violet is a collaborative effort between two siblings - Mariam and Michael. They both come together with a passionate desire to create music that is not only original but also aesthetically pleasing and satisfying to the human ear and soul. Based out of Detroit, this independent duo is getting things kicked off with their upcoming debut album entitled "Sounds of a Dirty City." The elegant sounds of Silent Violet range from relaxed trip-hop/downtempo to upbeat electronic indie-pop. From Michael's complex beat arrangements and meandering effects to the vintage keys and the piano, every aspect of instrumentation supports Mariam's breathe-taking and enlightening vocals. Silent Violet is a promising artist that will continue to work hard in creating well-designed and graceful artistry for any listener seeking an original and captivating musical experience.

Bursting with Talent
author: Scott Wilson
I checked out silent violet on a recommendation from a friend. I was so enamored by their music that I immediately bought their album and I almost never buy albums! I don't typically enjoy female vocalists either, but Mariam McCarthy's voice is so beautiful and her words are so wonderful that I couldn't help but be amazed. Her lyrics fit together so neatly while never succumbing to cliches. Neadless to say, I am very impressed by this group. The stand out tracks on this album are: Sounds of a Dirty City, Height is a beautiful thing, Ecclesiastes Revolving, Double, and Are You With Me? This is one of the most talented new groups I've heard in years!

I'm so glad I picked up this album. The keys and beats are gracefully blended with layers of gorgeous vocals. The inspired production techniques leave an indelible mark. This is pure bliss, this is Silent Violet. The sonic palette will wash over you, leaving you wanting more. It's only a matter of time before a major label realizes Silent Violet's potential. I suggest you pick up a copy and be prepared to listen to some TRUE Detroit talent!
