Red Eye
By Jon Margulies and April White

Waiting for that red-eye plane
Caught between the gate and melon light
Trying to sleep in a high chair
Kept awake by fears I'll miss my flight

I need cotton clouds beneath me
A reminder of the lightness of being
I throw a suitcase through the sky
It demonstrate that wheels do not fly

I take one step, can't see ahead
I grab my heart to keep my head

CHORUS
I lay me down and lose control
I pick me up and take control

Waiting for a break in time
When the tunnel's cracked by a spear of sun
Keep diggin' with that spoon
Keep drivin' back the earth and tears

I need mother ocean beneath me
A reminder I'm a liquid being
Throw a suitcase overboard
It float gently towards the shore

I take one step, can't see ahead
I grab my heart to keep my head
Too far inside to go back now
Hold fast or you won't leave the ground

CHORUS
I lay me down and lose control
I pick me up and take control

Violet and the Sun is an ethereal pop band whose musical inspirations are as enigmatic and original as they are lush and eclectic. 

Band leader, singer-songwriter and producer-engineer April White has relied on playing the piano and singing to express herself in private most of her life, as if writing in a diary to find herself and revive her spirit. She brings her inner life to the foreground in this iconic and eponymous, breakthrough album, "Violet and the Sun." 

April called upon several friends, collaborators and skilled musicians to contribute to the colorful soundscapes the album explores, who journeyed to her rustic log cabin studio for recording sessions. 

The album would not be complete without the stylings, inspirations, ideas and talents of Aaron Day, Jon Margulies and Christine Bucher—or the finesse of award-winning composer, producer, engineer, and multi-instrumentalist Ben Leinbach, whose final touches and mixing/mastering skills took each song to a new level. 

Living on an acreage near the South Rim of the Grand Canyon with her beloved dogs, cats and dwarf goats provides April with an endless source of joy and wonder. The miles of uninterrupted pinyon pines by day and countless stars by night give her a sense of interconnectedness and place in the universe, which is intimately reflected in this break-out album.

Tiny Machine's huge sound is funky and soulful, catchy and kickass. 

"Very art-tastic! It's like Miike Snow meets the Beatles with future-forward sounds and lyrics." --MING/Hood Famous Music
