After two decades of unique and thoughtful songwriting, The Violent Years are back with their new album Blizzard/Sunshine. The Violent Years follow up with this album from their apocalyptic predecessor Via Antarctica (2019). Over the years, the band has distinguished itself with a deep foundation in Americana, rock and melancholic art pop. Since the early 2000s, they have released everything from a self-titled EP (2008) to critically acclaimed albums such as Trying to Get Over (2012) and I Blame You and You Blame Me (2018) and the aforementioned Via Antarctica.
Blizzard/Sunshine moves through the changing climate of love – from desperate longing to quiet reconciliation. The lyrics allow blizzards, moonlight, waves and summer gardens to reflect inner landscapes, while concrete moments in urban spaces, in bedrooms and under neon lights give the songs body and weight. It is about losing one's foothold, about searching for light in the darkness, about being left behind when the euphoria subsides. In the span between cold and heat, blizzard and sunshine, the album finds its core: a subdued, mature and deeply human expression that lasts long after the last note has died down.
