EP Focus: Anti-Violet

"Conceptually, I was inspired by the doomed love in Poe's Annabel Lee, my anxiety, questions of existence, Fight Club and dystopian societies."

Answered by: Ashlin Johnson

EP Title: Janus-Faced

How many releases do you have now? Prior to Janus-Faced we released a two track in 2012. Since then we've been defying the gods to put this together.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Conceptually, I was inspired by the doomed love in Poe's Annabel Lee, my anxiety, questions of existence, Fight Club and dystopian societies. I became fascinated by Janus the two-faced god who could see through time.

What's your favourite song on it? I have a love-hate relationship with all of the songs, but I'd probably say I hate Spilling Plans the least.

We'll like this EP if we like: Excessively drinking coffee, long walks on gravel, hiding from humans, perpetual angst and wiping your tears with sandpaper while you cry yourself to sleep. 

When and where is your launch/next gig? The EP launch will be held at The Bendigo on 26 Nov. We're attempting to turn the venue into an art installation of sorts, come join us!
