Violet Grohl released her highly anticipated debut album, Be Sweet To Me in May via Auroura Records / Republic Records. It was recorded at producer Justin Raisen’s (Kim Gordon, Charli xcx) Los Angeles home studio alongside musicians assembled in the spirit of the Wrecking Crew session players in the ’60s and ’70s, and its sound takes perpetual influence from the alternative sounds of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s: Pixies, Soundgarden, Cocteau Twins, The Breeders, PJ Harvey, The Muffs, Björk, Alice in Chains, L7, Juliana Hatfield. “I’ve listened to that stuff since I was a kid,” Grohl says of the blend of sounds evidenced on the album’s singles “THUM,” “595,” Cool Buzz” and “Bug in the Cake”.
