War Violet Releases New Single; Will Play Americanafest This Week

War Violet, the psych folk project of NYC-based artist and multi-instrumentalist Olajumoke "Jummy" Aremu,  released a new single, "Different Formations," today on venerated indie labels Kill Rock Stars (UK) + Bella Union (UK/EUR).

In 2018 Jummy self released a lo-fi debut EP called Getaway, described by Alt Citizen as “jangly groovy folk pop with Beach Boys and Angel Olsen vibes.” Fast forward to now: with her debut album complete, made with her ever-growing group of friends and collaborators, her sound has evolved into a vast landscape that explores darker themes such as isolation, alienation, identity, and loss.

Emerging from a dream and a nightmare, War Violet asks the question, “what do we fill with these open spaces?” With the goal to illuminate, War Violet is the harsh truth, yet there is beauty.
