| | JR.com: Violet Indiana - Casino in Music: Pop: |
 | | A collaboration between Cocteau Twins guitarist/producer Robin Guthrie and ex-Mono vocalist Siobhan De Mare, Violet Indiana borrows from the shimmering, gauzy textures that mark Guthrie's work, and the noir-ish trip-hop of Mono. |
 | | CASINO, a US-only release, collects songs from the Violet Indiana's UK EPs, offering a fine sampler of the group's lush, ambient, dream pop. |
 | | There is a bit more edge to Violet Indiana than Guthrie's previous projects, as the razory refrain of "Bang Bang" and the ominous, foreboding air of tunes like "Silent" show. |
