Delta of Venus Shows Cinematic Perspective in "Disengaged b/w Slipping" Video.
Mystic, CT's Delta of Venus presents sonically dreamy shoegaze textures exhibited as video, in their first official music video, "Disengaged b/w Slipping". Released along with their Double A-Side Single on 11.26.20, this long-form video reinterprets the story of Joan of Arc in a postmodern time, imagining a narrative in which Joan survived her teen years and leads a contemporary community of feminine resistance in Mystic, CT.
Directed, filmed, and styled by photographer Michelle Gemma, the video feels ambiently rebellious, retracing history while enticing activism. Over two months of shooting, the video employs spellbinding visuals, accompanied by guitars drenched in shoegaze, vocals with ambiance, and lush sequencing.
- Initially, Issy's vocal delivery creates hypnotic soundscapes, enhancing the sounds composed by Ellery Twining and the range of reverb-soaked guitars.
- Mat Tarboxes' bass and hardware sequencer instills an ambiguous pulse throughout the song, with Shawn Fake citing the tempo through the drums.
- The recordings were laid down and produced by Eric M. Lichter at Dirt Floor Studios, reflecting themes of melancholy, introspection, and subdued disobedience.
"Disengaged b/w Slipping," featuring enchanting visuals and deeply layered sound, confirms Delta of Venus as a band with a vision, in both visual and musical aspects. It is a film that embodies the spirit of defiance and art's renewal, so indie and shoegaze fans should check this out.
