Violet Grohl has announced the details of her debut full-length release and shared another taste of its timeless sound.

It’s going to be called ‘Be Sweet To Me’ and will be released on May 29 via Auroura Records / Republic Records / Island Records UK.

It’s a collection of songs that pulls from many of the bands from the 80s and 90s that Violet spent her childhood falling in love with, serving as a chance for her to pay tribute to the sounds that made her.

As she explains, “There’s something so powerful about that period of music, from the messaging to the visuals, it’s authentic and raw. Pixies, Soundgarden, Cocteau Twins, The Breeders, PJ Harvey, The Muffs, Björk, Alice in Chains, L7, Juliana Hatfield: I’ve listened to that stuff since I was a kid.”

The artwork looks like this:

Whilst the tracklisting looks like this:

1. THUM
2. 595
3. Bug In The Cake
4. Last Day I Loved You
5. Big Memory
6. Mobile Stars
7. Often Others
8. Applefish
9. Cool Buzz
10. Pool Of My Dream
11. Plastic Couch

You can also check out a taste of it right now in the form of ‘595’. A splattering of lo-fi grunge, delivering with the sort of irreverence and grit that is necessary, it’s a throwback to a vital turning point in music. Though despite pulling from a completely different point in time, it still feels wonderfully fresh and relevant, a skill that is often the hardest to master.
