On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, Talking Violet delivers an emotionally raw and sonically expansive “dreamo” anthem with their latest single “Destroy,” a powerful exploration of acceptance, closure, and the bittersweet truth that love and hurt can coexist in relationships worth letting go.
Talking Violet
Talking Violet, the Windsor, Ontario-based four-piece, continues to blend shoegaze, grunge, and dream-pop into their self-described “dreamo” sound—a lush, emotionally intense style that defies easy categorization.
The band consists of Jillian Goyeau on vocals and guitar, Jayden Turnbull on guitar and vocals, Jeremie Brousseau on drums, and Dylan Iannicello on bass. Their music often delves into themes of personal transformation and the complexities of relationships, delivering powerful, cathartic experiences through expansive soundscapes.
Destroy
Released in October 2025, “Destroy” follows the band’s previous track “In Your Mind” and marks a shift toward introspection. While “In Your Mind” examined the challenges of supporting a loved one amid pain and uncertainty, “Destroy” focuses on personal closure, acknowledging that people can simultaneously love and hurt each other—and that some relationships must end despite lingering affection.
The single builds on the emotional foundation laid by their 2024 sophomore album Everything At Once, which grappled with the grief stemming from significant life and relationship changes. These experiences highlighted how deeply identity can be tied to interpersonal connections, prompting a process of rediscovery and healing from patterns like people-pleasing—a journey that remains ongoing.
Rising Recognition
Talking Violet has garnered notable acclaim, including strong support from SiriusXM’s The Verge (reaching as high as #2), placements on major editorial playlists on Spotify and Apple Music, and a sustained 14-week presence on the NACC charts. With “Destroy,” the band advances their evolution, offering music that is raw in its vulnerability, broad in its sonic reach, and deeply relatable in its humanity.
