Haken vocalist Ross Jennings is continuing to go down a very 80s path with his new single "Violet". The single is off Jennings' coming solo album A Shadow Of My Future Self featuring Jennings on vocals and guitar, Nathan Navarro (Devin Townsend) on bass, Vikram Shankar (Redemption, Lux Terminus, Silent Skies) on keyboards, and Simen Sandnes (Arkentype) on drums.
"The lyrics of 'Violet' once again deal with navigating through the highs and lows of close, long-term relationships," said Jennings. "For the video I reconnected with an old friend from my days in film school, Ben Jones (aka Vidiotbrain). Among my vast notes for the video treatment, I showed him Peter Gabriel's video for 'Sledgehammer' and asked him to take the spirit of that and crank it up to 11…be careful what you wish for they say! I couldn’t be happier with the results."
A Shadow Of My Future Self is out November 19 and is available for pre-order here.
