Delta of Venus is still in a sonic voyage and release the single, Intertwined, a melodic and heartfelt two-song single, which proves how deep they can be musically and how powerful songwriters they are. Founded on Mystic, Connecticut, the group combines shoegaze, dream pop, indie rock, and post-punk into a rich and intimate feeling within the sound.
The original version of the song, Intertwined, is a wondrously volatile soundscape of guitars then swirl and blur as seen in a rainy night city lights and the atmosphere is distant yet makes one feel warm. Bass and drums create a non-obtrusive momentous beat on which the dreaminess is based, lending it movement and stress. The song touches on empathy and the connectional aspect of humans, especially to the one that goes beyond acquaintances. It is about the way lives could intertwine and inform each other without actually meeting. Such an emotional theme runs like a secret in the song.
Next is the acoustic version, which is a bare, close one that changes the emotional layers of the song. The original is obscure and immersive, whereas the acoustic one is the unpolished, the open one. Devoid of the dreamy textures, only fragile guitar lines and clean vocals remain, and the lyrics sound even stronger. It is much as in overhearing a confidential communication or reading a letter not intended to be shown.
“Intertwined / intertwined (Acoustic)” demonstrates that Delta of Venus is not simply an atmosphere, they are also storytellers who can shift between the loud sceneries and the sweet mumble. It is not only good music, it is reflective, human and very much touching. Be it this powerful rush of the full band sound on the original version or the softer sincerity on the acoustic one, there is something to stop, think and feel.
