Kerala Dust - Violet Drive

Play It Again Sam - PIASR1350LP

Kerala Dust was formed in London in 2016. Growing up on the sounds of CAN, The Velvet Underground and Tom Waits while spending blurry mornings in nightclubs, the band combines those disparate influences of psychedelic rock, blues and techno into one.

Kerala Dust's new album Violet Drive is a record deeply affected and influenced by its surroundings. The songs on Violet Drive were built from the drums up, and this truly stunning, off-kilter percussion defines the album; in keeping with the record's inspirations, they often sound like a war cry. Recorded in two weeks in a studio in the Alps just outside of Zurich, the thudding backbeat laid down provide the framework upon which the album's lyrics and instrumentation - flashes of blues-y guitars and woozy synths.
