#infinite spring

We’re only one week out from Infinite Spring, the debut album from former Sidekicks leader Steve Ciolek’s new project superviolet. Ciolek made the album with Zac Little from Saintseneca, a band Ciolek’s logged time in, and so far he’s shared two great singles, “Overrater” and “Big Songbirds Don’t Cry.” Today he’s back with one more preview. “Locket” is a propulsive pop-rock track with a folk-rock spirit; listen to it below.

Earlier this month, former Sidekicks frontman Steven Ciolek revealed a new project called superviolet. He’s releasing a debut album, Infinite Spring, in a few weeks, which he recorded with Saintseneca’s Zac Little and his one-time bandmate Matty Sanders. We heard “Overrater” from it already, and today he’s back with the album’s second single, “Big Songbirds Don’t Cry,” a pretty, gradually escalating number with some impressive lyrics: “Big songbirds don’t cry/ They just get the blues/ Besides in sports bars, the adage holds true/ It’s blues with red and silver telecasted sound/ Pentatonic poetry as a higher ground.” Check it out below. Infinite Spring is out 4/21 via Lame-O Records.
