Delta of Venus’s ‘Disengaged b/w Slipping’ : A Swirling Alt Pop Feature
Delta of Venus is a singer-songwriter and alt pop banner that aligns song with narrative. The ideas are so unique, touched by the novel representation of romanticism, dream pop, and a mystical sphere of reality. And with the listening experience marked by smooth genre-blends and contemplative features, it is reminiscent of a blend between Phoebe Bridgers and Gracie Adams, Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo. The artist’s debut release is the ‘Disengaged b/w Slipping’ double single. The tracks connect on the thematic level, and their manifestations tie into each other to reward us with a profound cohesion.
The pop style is not in the commercial zone, rather so softly alternative that it weaves in moments of dream pop, soft pop, contemporary pop and even a little bit of folk pop. There’s that slightest touch of indie rock that keeps things loose and liberated. ‘Disengaged’ traces the melancholy of unrequited love. Even though it’s a common theme, it seems that the vocals and feelings are emerging from a space beyond the common. The interpretation of the phenomenon, and the way it is showcased and crafted is quite unique and lovely. It has the fundamentals of pop, but spun to carry nuances that we don’t see often.
‘Slipping’ follows with a more dynamic beat. If ‘Disengaged’ was contemplative and melancholic, this track is a lot more flushed with movement, skating patterns, with a richer wave of indie rock. The textures are especially excited, like on the formative surfaces of shoegaze. Riffs are hyperactive, the beats are continuous, and melodies are fast streaming. But the vocals form at the pace of meaningful expression. Its mellow countenance and glassy disposition adds such an enjoyable dimension to the overall composition and carries it to an elevating thematic climax. Listen Now!
