L.S. Dunes have just dropped the title track from their forthcoming sophomore album ‘Violet’, which is set to be released on January 31 via Fantasy Records.

The single also comes alongside a music video directed by Militarie Gun frontman Ian Shelton.

On the song, bassist Tim Payne says “I think ‘Violet’ is the song that fully encapsulates everything we do as a band. Frank (Iero) brought the demo to the band as a fully structured song, and it seemed that we all just knew immediately what we had to do. I hear quite a few elements from songs on Past Lives, but it’s filtered through the lens of a more established musical language between us, and we were able to take this already incredible song Frank wrote and elevate it to a place I don’t think any of us imagined it could go.“

Vocalist Anthony Green adds “This song is about someone getting exactly what they deserve. This song helped me get through the feeling of being ghosted.“

The band will return to the UK next month to support Rise Against alongside two headline shows in Leeds and Cardiff.

We recently caught up with Anthony Green backstage at When We Were Young Festival to hear a little bit more about how they put the record together.
