Violetness - The Coal
A friend of mine made a pretty radical documentary a while ago about independent coal miners in NE Pennsylvania. And you think being an indie rocker is tough work…
The music this Chicago-based artist makes is coated in the spirit of coal dust. That chalky black that cakes your face, your hands, your lips, your throat. It’s haunted stuff, pure black. But like any good sorceress, Vanessa Upson conjurs up the life in it to do her bidding - to float like spirits into your ears and cast spells.
This is her first single, but look for more very soon.
