DELTA OF VENUS Disengaged b/w Slippi

Delta of Venus arrives with a debut that’s less a music video and more an immersive, cinematic fever dream. Disengaged b/w Slipping unfolds like a hallucination drifting between time periods, its sonic textures blooming with a kind of spectral melancholy. Layers of shimmering guitar and pulsing bass create a lush, echo-laden terrain where vocals hover like spirits never fully anchored, always in motion. There’s something elusive in the way the sound wraps around you, refusing to be pinned down, like trying to remember the details of a dream just out of reach. The production feels both delicate and deliberate, carefully engineered to pull you further into its emotional orbit.

Visually, the piece is a revelation. Director and stylist Michelle Gemma builds a surreal timeline where myth and modernity intertwine, envisioning a version of history rewritten with Joan of Arc as a living, breathing icon of rebellion. The imagery crackles with quiet power torchlit scenes, windswept gowns, glances full of defiance and each frame feels meticulously crafted to echo the duality of the music: tender yet unyielding. The cast, led by Fiona, Emma, Maya, Izzy N., Nora, and Issy P., doesn’t just perform they channel, embodying a spirit of resistance that’s felt rather than explained. There’s a rare synergy between sight and sound here that’s impossible to ignore.

Much of the video’s haunting quality lies in its seamless blending of timelines past bleeds into present, fantasy into protest. The House of 1833 provides a stage steeped in ghostly elegance, its history whispering through every shadowy corridor. Editor James Canty stitches it all together with remarkable fluidity, allowing the viewer to drift between eras without ever feeling disoriented. This isn’t a linear narrative but a sensory tapestry, one where meaning is found not just in plot but in color, sound, and rhythm. It’s a piece that asks you to feel before you understand and by the time it fades to black, you do.

With Disengaged b/w Slipping, Delta of Venus makes it clear that they aren’t here to merely contribute to a genre they’re here to reshape it. This is art that resonates on multiple frequencies: emotional, historical, visual. It’s rare for a debut to land with such precision, even rarer for it to feel like a fully realized vision. For those who seek music with depth and visuals that challenge as much as they enchant, this is not to be missed. Delta of Venus isn’t just offering a song they’re inviting us into a world.
