Violet's debut full-length is a bit of a diversion from the sound of her club-focused EPs and energetic DJ sets, which often drift between acidic techno and dreamy breakbeat house. The album is intended as a diary of memories from her formative years, with the intention of self-forgiveness and hope. Opener "Tears in 1993" is a stirring atmospheric piece, punctuated with scattered jungle breakbeats which eventually smash themselves into oblivion. "Bed of Roses" is an extended meditation on a curious, childlike melodic theme, with bass pulsations and drum machine taps only making incidental appearances. Even when the tracks do have consistent rhythmic patterns, they still feel detached and distant, focused more on introverted reflection than dancing. Still, there are moments of more outward expression which end up connecting. "They Don't Wanna Know" has a much friendlier '80s-style pop beat, with a glossy synth melody shining over Violet's catchy murmurations. The second part of "Bed of Roses" is more propulsive and determined than the first, filled with Violet's dazed words of philosophy, concluding with the powerful "Love is all there ever was." Bed of Roses is hard to grasp at first, especially for listeners who enjoyed the producer's previous EPs, but it's an undeniably pure expression of the ups and downs of her journey through life, and its free spirit and sincerity are what make it so compelling.
