We are honored to release the debut album from Violet, the alias of In?s Borges Coutinho, Lisbon born and raised DJ, producer boss of Naive records, co-founder of R?dio Qu?ntica, and mina resident. Violet began producing music in 2012 and has released music on One Eyed Jacks, Love on the Rocks, Para?so and Naive. In?s uses her seemingly boundless energy to amplify other artists all the while progressing her own creative practice. ?Bed of Roses? contains 10 songs made as a sort of childhood-teenage memories diary, a return to things In?s liked then and also the difficult things she?s been through. The feeling behind the album is self forgiveness in an optimistic way but also in an adult way, aware of the bruises (thorns) but also of the invaluable love and life experiences (roses). The title comes from the Bon Jovi song that In?s loved as a 9-year old and doubles as an intent of positivity paired with the inescapable darkness of life. In?s says, ?I wrote this music as a healing device that I hope can somehow help heal others too.? All songs have been mastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. The jacket features an original design by Eloise Leigh that incorporates themes of self-inspection and hope mixing a teen bedroom girly vintage scrapbook aesthetic with contemporary 3D mapping techniques. Each LP contains a postcard featuring a childhood photo of In?s with notes.
