Sonic adept Robin Guthrie (ex-Cocteau Twins) and vocalist Siobhan de Mare (ex-Mono) made up the foggy dream pop of Violet Indiana. Shortly later on de Mare was sticking out of her Mono duties, she standard a healthy call from Guthrie, asking her if she'd wish to work with him. Unfamiliar with Guthrie's cult condition, she asked her sister roughly him and decided to take him up on the offer. In later 2000, the duo released the Gag EP on Bella Union, the label run by Guthrie and former Cocteau first mate Simon Raymonde. Retaining some of Guthrie's stylemark characteristics and combining them with de Mare's lazy, confident pitch, the Suffocate EP constituted them convincingly enough as something removed from Guthrie's prior dance orchestra -- a catchy thing so. 2001's full-length Roulette improved on the bright debut. A singles solicitation, Casino, followed in former 2002. Russian Doll was the right follow-up to Roulette, released in June of 2004.
