The dark music premiere Bzz Bzz is the result of a personal exploration of murky, angry and transcendental feelings heated and molded together in the crucible of climate decay, rising fascisms, and the lethal death-spasms of Empire, mirrored in personal emotional catharsis.
Longings for the solemn of deep oceans and the waves that relentlessly sedate and chip away at the mind and heart, the songs on Bzz Bzz reveal the power that can be found amongst the sediments of raw emotion.
The record is comprised in two sides, both composed and produced by Venus Jasper, who also provides vocals, texts and concept of the record, alongside the supporting instrumentalists Rosa Ronsdorf (synth/keys), Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti (electric guitar), Franky Rosaly (percussion) and Ruben Dahmen (bass clarinet). Mixing by XXXX, master by XXXX.
During 12 immersive tracks, Venus takes us on a rusty and metallic crooked vessel, leading us towards a dark and emotional island - an animistic world where murky bogs are sacred, build from the samples of insects, water, storms, metals and chainsaws, which together with both acoustic and electronic instruments, carrying eccentric vocals.
Through cathartic, experimental and cinematographic soundscapes creating spacious and at times upbeat ritualistic experiences, the record confronts us with times that are, and the times to come, finding sovereignty of our bodies, minds and spirit, amongst a crumbling world.
