West Palm Beach dance-punk trio Violet Silhouette released the single “This Is Something” on 25 September 2026, with a video directed by Roberto Badillo.
The track pairs post-punk structures with dance rhythms, with reference points close to early Human League and LCD Soundsystem. Violet Silhouette is Dan, Zaii and Lily Vile (bass), formed in West Palm Beach, Florida in late 2019 and now based between South Florida and Austin, Texas.
Violet Silhouette’s video for ‘This Is Something’
Roberto Badillo directed the video for “This Is Something,” which the band says draws on David Lynch’s 1997 film “Lost Highway.” Violet Silhouette described the concept: “Visually, we drew from David Lynch’s Lost Highway. Our friend Roberto Badillo took our vision and ran with it, the result is sleek and visceral, like a gloved hand dragging desire across the table.”
