Sonic wizard <a href="spotify:artist:3ZqRIzadY4WYQEg4Hj2vGC">Robin Guthrie</a> (ex-<a href="spotify:artist:5Wabl1lPdNOeIn0SQ5A1mp">Cocteau Twins</a>) and vocalist Siobhan de Mare (ex-<a href="spotify:artist:4Ui1YyfdxTmOBM224s8UEU">Mono</a>) made up the hazy dream pop of Violet Indiana. Shortly after de Mare was relieved of her <a href="spotify:artist:4Ui1YyfdxTmOBM224s8UEU">Mono</a> duties, she received a phone call from <a href="spotify:artist:0B6QEFtRnneEzb4iqjI0Nw">Guthrie</a>, asking her if she'd like to work with him. Unfamiliar with <a href="spotify:artist:0B6QEFtRnneEzb4iqjI0Nw">Guthrie</a>'s cult status, she asked her sister about him and decided to take him up on the offer. In late 2000, the duo released the Choke EP on Bella Union, the label run by <a href="spotify:artist:0B6QEFtRnneEzb4iqjI0Nw">Guthrie</a> and former Cocteau mate <a href="spotify:artist:31eiHDLnkVg1fEezZihdfQ">Simon Raymonde</a>. Retaining some of <a href="spotify:artist:0B6QEFtRnneEzb4iqjI0Nw">Guthrie</a>'s trademark characteristics and combining them with de Mare's lazy, confident delivery, the Choke EP established them convincingly enough as something removed from <a href="spotify:artist:0B6QEFtRnneEzb4iqjI0Nw">Guthrie</a>'s prior band -- a tricky thing indeed. 2001's full-length Roulette improved on the promising debut. A singles collection, Casino, followed in early 2002. Russian Doll was the proper follow-up to Roulette, released in June of 2004. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
