Noah tape’s Green EP has an interesting interplay between the organic and the electronic, creating a haunting sort of indie rock that is wholly different from anything else that we have ever heard.

I Hope You’re Well possesses a production that allows the distinct elements of Violet Night to shine alone and as a cohesive unit.
