Violens
November 21, 2008
Violens are the latest brainchild of Miami-bred Jorge Elbrecht, a 30-year-old artist, singer, and guitarist who is also a member of the popular art and music collective Lansing-Dreiden. On August 17, the year-old band gathered at a ground-floor loft in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, to make a video for “Spectator & Pupil”-a lush, dreamy song with careening atmospherics, New Wave harmonies, and a hard, galloping beat.
