Delta Of Venus - 'Disengaged b/w Slipping'

First impressions matter, and Delta Of Venus have delivered a remarkable one. With their first official release, the US-based newcomers have stepped out of the shadows and into the soft glow of indie dream-pop, unveiling two tracks that feel like the soundtrack to a twilight reverie.

'Disengaged' opens with a haze of reverb-drenched guitars and melancholic ambience, steadily drawing you into its emotive orbit. The vocals are hushed but expressive, carried along by layers of glistening instrumentation that feel equally intimate and expansive.

Paired with it, 'Slipping' leans into a more rhythm-driven undercurrent, adding a quiet urgency to the overall sound. Its cascading guitar motifs and soft percussive backdrop create an immersive bed for lyrics that seem to hover between self-reflection and surrender.

For a debut, 'Disengaged b/w Slipping' is stunningly self-assured. The band already show a strong ear for mood and atmosphere, blending influences from shoegaze, alt-pop, and lo-fi indie into something that feels both familiar and refreshingly current. If this is Delta Of Venus at the beginning, they’re absolutely one to watch.
