Violet Bell (from the album Honey in My Heart available on Rainbow Woman Records)
The sonic purity of Honey in My Heart is in direct line with the production of the recent debut from Violet Bell. The North Carolina duo remained home state loyal, recording Honey in My Heart at Fideltorium in Kennersville, North Carolina with co-producer Jason Richmond (Dom Flemons, Avett Brothers, Bombadil, Steep Canyon Rangers). Violet Bell create environments alongside the words and music of each track, capturing Honey in My Heart mostly live, no click tracks, isolation, or vocal timing. The stillness of a deep forest is captured in “Mountain Song”, quiet breaths giving way to heavy weather in the pounding rhythms while motherhood comes of age using moonlight as a guide for “Howl” and a percussive rattle urges caution for a story that heads for deep water in “Swimming Towards Sharks”.
The musical backing for the songs is welcoming, Jazzy Blues (“Summer Skin”) poking a sharp stick at Bro Country as tendrils of organ chords wrap around soulfully secular Gospel Roots (“Let Me Forget”), Future Folk drifts on ethereal waves (“Path You’ve Never Seen”) and backwoods Americana (“Smoke in the Night”. Violet Bell are soundshifters, conjuring moods in the melodies of Honey in My Heart, seducing with the trance groove of the title track as a rhythmic rattle becomes the backbone supporting “Ugly Part” and Violet Bell slowly peel the beat back from memories in “Elephant Heart”.
