In November 2019 Anglo-Scottish duo Blue Violet spent a month at Middle Farm Studios in Devon recording their debut album with producer Rob Ellis (Anna Calvi, Marianne Faithful, PJ Harvey). Sarah, a Scot with Parisian roots, teamed up with Sam a few years ago and between then and now the duo have been working on music together, spreading their time between London and Sarah’s childhood home in Argyll. 2021 has seen them begin to release songs from their forthcoming album. First single ‘Undercover’ earned them track of the week on BBC Scotland’s Afternoon Show and praise from BBC Introducing, describing them as ‘Civil Wars meets the Black Keys’. Second release ‘White Beaches’ has thus far picked up spins from Steve Lamaq at BBC6 and John Kennedy at Radio X. Prior to Blue Violet Sam & Sarah Gotley performed as Broken Bones Matilda and had noteworthy performances at Glastonbury, Belladrum, Pub in the Park, Carfest and Wilderness festivals to name a few. With a diverse array of lyrical themes on their debut, expect intricately crafted, genre crossing song writing, delivered with a raw, beautifully anguished husk.
