Delta of Venus’ release “Disengaged b/w Slipping” is a dreamlike introduction to the band’s indie pop and shoegaze sound. The group is based in Mystic, Connecticut, and delivers a project that is both atmospheric and intentional, musically and visually. The accompanying music video reimagines Joan of Arc as a modern day heroine leading a quiet rebellion in the same New England town. It’s not just a video, it’s a piece of art, with a strong aesthetic vision, created by photographer and director Michelle Gemma.
This release is a beautiful sound and story blend, a thoughtful step forward for the band. The songs are moody, immersive, textured, with layered guitars, soft vocals, and subtle electronic touches. The music has a stillness and a reflection to it, inviting the listener to slow down and sink into the experience. “Disengaged b/w Slipping” is not a set of songs, it’s a mood.
