The innovative trio of Deidre Muro, David Perlick-Molinari, and Derek Muro, aka Violet Sands, is back with their latest single, “are you still watching?”.
The song dives into the unsettling notion of a streaming service gaining consciousness and manipulating viewers, channelling Y2K-era fears about technology. Whirling with an aura of sharp rhythms, crisp guitars, and ethereal vocals, “are you still watching?” conjures up the anxieties of our digital age, where screens often seem to hold more power than we realise.
On the flip side of the single, is the “Blue Light Mix” that intensifies whirling aura with a deeper sense of isolation and technological glitchiness. It’s a compelling reinterpretation that pushes the song’s eerie elements even further, making one question their relationship with technology.
“are you still watching?” is evidence to Violet Sands’ ability to craft music that is both timeless and timely for those who navigate the ever-blurring lines between reality and the digital world.
