A Minneapolis duo blending folk and electronic textures since 2009.
For a good sense of their sound, try 'Ophelia' or 'Anastasia Says.' They're both pretty straightforward examples of what they do.
Darling Violetta's music often leans into atmospheric, introspective territory, with tracks like 'Ophelia' and 'Star Shoes (Love Is Everything)' showing their range. They've sometimes used their music to comment on politics, like with a 2017 video for 'The President' that criticized the Trump administration. It stirred up some debate, but they kept making music, with 'Spoiled & Rotten' appearing in their later work.
Darling Violetta formed in Minneapolis in 2009 with Emily Robb on vocals and guitar, Rachel Furst on bass and vocals, and Mark Rothlisberger on drums. Their first album, 'The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow,' came out in 2012, mixing folk and electronic sounds. Rothlisberger left in 2014, and Robb and Furst kept writing without him, releasing 'A Smaller God' in 2016 and 'Dark Skies' in 2020.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
