LA-based musician Violet Grohl has officially inked with Republic Records / Island EMI Label Group through her imprint, Auroura Records.
Today sees her officially release 2-track bundle ‘THUM’ and ‘Applefish’ on all streaming platforms. “THUM” is loud, raw, and emotionally explosive, while ‘Applefish’ is softer and more playful with a dreamy, offbeat edge; together they show two sides of the same honest, youthful emotion.

“From the moment we met Violet, it was clear that she represents the next generation of artists,” Kristina Grossmann, SVP of A&R/Operations at Republic Records shares. “The music is immediate, intentional and her voice holds a rare duality.
She is unapologetically cool and is a fearless female voice. We couldn’t be more excited to help bring her vision and this album to life.” David Wolter, EVP/Head of A&R at Republic Records, adds: “Violet brings a rare combination of perspective, artistry, and reverence for the craft. She understands the history of music, but she’s also pushing it forward. She is the future.”
Additionally, this week, Violet released a third track; this one entitled “What’s Heaven Without You,” a tribute to the late David Lynch on what would have been his 80th birthday.
On the track, she shared: “This song was written in David Lynch’s memory alongside two of my favorite collaborators in the world, Persia Numan and Justin Raisen,” she says. “A few days after the chaos and devastation of the L.A. fires, we came together in our sadness and grief and let it pour out into this song. We hope you can find some resonance in it. The impact he left on art is truly magical. We miss you David.”
“a two-minute blast about struggling to break a bad habit.” – Rolling Stone (on “THUM”)
“…a cinematic feel, highlighted by Violet’s velvety vocals” – Consequence (on “THUM”)
“‘What’s Heaven Without You’ shows Grohl’s voice drifting over an enigmatic instrumental as she grapples with an internal monologue, feeling trapped between devotion and self-protection.” – Alternative Press
“”The homage to Lynch is apparent in its unique sound. Violet’s voice floats over the atmospheric and mysterious instrumental, creating a unique sound that’s both inspired by Lynch and boldly original at the same time.”- Consequence (on “What’s Heaven Without You”)
