Joe P releases debut single, "Violet"

Joe P's bio paints a picture of a guy sitting out in his backyard until he turned into an indie rock phenom, and his newest single, "Violet," is about to be your new obsession. From a super-low-run part-time antihero, Parquet Courts give an inspired showcase of their attention-grabbing new disc, the raw, in-your-face, tactile grit of their sound (a suitably amped sound welcomes them) proving once more why this Jersey-born singer-songwriter pro-toiled musician's raw, five a.m., Devine one-take and hit-post effort to music making resonates so profoundly with his fans, fresh off his debut plat crossed disc Garden State Vampire.

"Violet," a swirling, emotional anthem, captures Joe P's hallmark mix of intimate storytelling and energetic production. His haunting vocals drift atop warm, reverb-drenched guitars, and as "Violet" swells into a euphoric burst of noise imagine shoegaze dreaminess with garage rock grit. It's the kind of song that grabs you and doesn't let go, keeping you lost in its mournful but oddly uplifting haze.

"Violet" builds on Joe P's talent for weaving vivid, intimately personal stories that nevertheless feel like they could belong to anyone. It's a song about longing, nostalgia, and the unexpectedness of the most profound type of emotions. Whether you're a longtime fan or just now discovering his music, "Violet" is evidence of Joe P's growth as an artist who isn't afraid to play with the slivers of space between vulnerability and power.

With Violet, Joe P reminds us why we fell in love with his music in the first place." It's raw. It's real. And it's certainly unforgettable."
