Glass Mansions dive into digital disillusionment with dark alt-pop single ‘VIOLET’

Austin-based alt-pop duo Glass Mansions return with their electrifying new single ‘VIOLET’, a brooding, synth-laced anthem exploring the psychological toll of digital obsession. Led by Jayna Doyle’s hypnotic vocals, the track channels the spirit of Black Mirror, examining the curated chaos of online life and our descent into algorithmic voids.

Built on pulsing rhythms and cinematic synths, ‘VIOLET’ captures the seductive pull of social media, asking what happens when we surrender entirely to the scroll. “It’s the static void, the abysmal collection of everything we post, throw, scream into the unknown,” Doyle explains. Produced by Taylor Webb, the track’s tongue-in-cheek lyricism and dark pop intensity reflect a generation numbed by dopamine hits and digital performance.

Equal parts commentary and catharsis, ‘VIOLET’ is a hauntingly relatable offering from a band that continues to push sonic and thematic boundaries.
