I can’t imagine it not being the first track of the album.” By the end of the song, I feel like I can see the sky right in front of me. Nate’s lyrics are super melancholic on it and ‘Gold’ has always felt super resilient to me. “‘Gold’ has always been one of my favourite songs to play guitar on, we have been playing this song for a little while now but it always feels new to me for some reason. We were trying to figure ourselves and each other out in much of the writing process.”ĭelving deeper into the inspiration behind the songs, Jill Goyeau gave us a track-by-track rundown on this incredible record.


It is a record that wants to be heard but also listen, a lot. It reflects a lot on the experience of navigating a world of anxiety while trying to be respectful of others’ turmoils as well. Tell Your Friends You Love Them is about our friends and ourselves. This has been like our secret baby since 2019, with everything that has happened between then and now, it is cathartic to be able to share its story with everyone at last. “Really, it’s surreal that this record is finally out in the world. The band has this to say about the release of their new album: Singles “Superego” and “Indigo” showed the group’s range, from angular ’90s alternative akin to Smashing Pumpkins to lush soundscapes reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine while “Slowdance” and “Delusional” highlight the pop elements of the band along with vocalist Jill Goyeau’s sublime but powerful vocals. The Ontario quartet melds the best elements of shoegaze, grunge, alternative rock and dream-pop into a sound that is equal parts an homage to the greats of each genre and an original statement that highlights the band’s mature approach to songwriting. Ontario-based alternative shoegaze quartet Talking Violet just released their much anticipated new album Tell Your Friends You Love Them having spent the last 3 years perfecting their ability to create music that transports the listener to a sonic dreamland.
