Blue Violence. turned the emotional weight of disconnection right into a dancefloor confession with ‘My Ft Are Unhappy on the Dancefloor’, the keystone single from his 3-track EP, ‘Ugh…’. With synths set to shimmer and sardonic melancholy laced by means of the beat, this melancholic indietronica lament spins the disco ball on its axis to mirror a darker spectrum of internal turmoil.
By means of anthropomorphised sorrow, Daniel Fischetti—writing and producing as Blue Violence.—exposes the paradox of inside desolation amidst exterior euphoria. Whereas glitter rains and basslines throb in euphoric unison, his toes stay heavy with the load of unshakable emotional inertia. There’s funk within the Depeche Mode-esque rhythm and ache within the lyricism, stitched along with the identical magnetic gloom discovered within the works of John Grant.
Hailing from Southern California, Fischetti began Blue Violence in 2019 throughout a collaboration with producer and engineer Chris Caccamise of CJE Productions. Their work on the debut album Fashionable Love cemented Blue Violence. as a reputation value noting within the shadowy corners of synth pop. Since then, Fischetti has remained self-contained in his sonic pursuits, refining his signature fashion with out sanding away the uncooked emotional contours.
‘My Ft Are Unhappy on the Dancefloor’ doesn’t faux the catharsis—it coils round it, inspecting each nuance of numbness by means of neon-soaked textures and darkly candy tones. Blue Violence delivered the funked-up synth pop hit we by no means knew we would have liked. He’s the definitive unhappy boi of synth pop.
‘My Ft Are Unhappy on the Dancefloor’ is now out there to stream on all main platforms, together with Spotify.
