Our first introduction to 2018 is the indie flavored VIØLETS’s . They released the hypnotic track Falling In Time a few weeks back. The three piece is led by the sensual front-woman Pippa who cites influences from Florence & The Machine to Vaults, Sylvan Esso and The xx.  The London based act first made waves and picked up a cult following with their track Ghost.
