The Arthur Brothers
Violet Hum / Single
A rollicking musical collage that seductively takes you on a journey through mad unexpected scene changes. Beginning with a 1930’s wireless parlour sound which transitions quickly through 70s nonchalant pop, sun drenched Beach Boys-esque a cappella vocal bridges, Welsh colliers choir breaks, a calypso beach party scene, and even a ‘The Who - Sellout’ style radio ad break.
It features a horn section that included trombone and trumpet from Tim Hart and Pablo Mendelssohn (member of The Specials horn section and the Book of Mormons House Band) and a string section led by violinist Sarah Anderson (Chrome Hoof, Deep Throat Choir).

“Really blown away by this ... that’s what I’m looking for - imagination, ambition and the skills and talent to carry it off. Sounding amazing. Quite extraordinary...fascinating stuff”
“Honestly, this is one of the strangest but most compelling songs of the year and it’s taken a few listens but I am now firmly in the ‘this is genius’ camp. If this isn’t in my best tracks of 2019 list at the end of the year then some very special things would have to have happened.”
