violet lake Lien Brussels violet lake is the solo project of Brussels-based artist Lien Monteny. Lien's interest in synthesizers and synth music started at a very young age. Not having had any musical education, Lien learned most skills through experimenting, looking up stuff on the internet and watching their favourite bands. violet lake's music is largely inspired by the contemporary European dark- and minimal wave scene (think of Hante., hørd, Minuit Machine, Sydney Valette, Lebanon Hanover) but also by the iconic post-punk bands of the 80's and contemporary Russian electronic music (think of Sobranie 818, Chernoburkv, AIGEL etc.). The lyrics touch upon subjects such as queer culture, social criticism, alienation, emptiness and longing for connection. violet lake’s tracks Cities by violet lake published on 2021-05-01T17:50:05Z udahni me (with Luka) by violet lake published on 2021-03-31T22:47:42Z Walking Down The Street (with Dilly) by violet lake published on 2021-02-11T20:14:44Z
