Rock/Review Delta of Venus - Intertwined b/w Intertwined (acoustic)

Delta of Venus delves deeper into their atmospheric universe with their second single, “Intertwined b/w Intertwined (acoustic),” which offers an unexpected acoustic reinterpretation as well as a beautiful shoegaze voyage. The band continues to push their horizons after the critical acclaim of their debut, “Disengaged b/w Slipping,” showcasing their emotional depth and aural ambition.

A whirling meditation on empathy in a world growing more chaotic is "Intertwined." In typical shoegaze fashion, layers of gauzy vocals, melancholy bass rhythms, and reverb-heavy guitars drift together to create a beautiful tapestry of sound that is both dreamy and confusing. Without ever coming across as preachy, the song asks listeners to think about their role in the greater human narrative and to show empathy, even for complete strangers. Rather, it strikes a chord through atmosphere and feeling.

Born out of bassist Mat Tarbox's playful idea, the acoustic version proves to be more than simply a novelty. Guitarist Ellery Twining's choice to experiment with acoustic repertoire results in a reworking that eliminates the haze while preserving the original's reflective essence. The outcome is acoustic shoegaze at its most honest—delicate, fragile, and unexpectedly personal. The song's emotional impact may be subtly conveyed and the lyrics can breathe thanks to the simplicity of the arrangement.

In addition to releasing a catchy A/B song, Delta of Venus has demonstrated versatility, inventiveness, and a readiness to make fun of themselves while still producing an artistically genuine product. In a genre that is frequently characterized by abstraction, “Intertwined” distinguishes them as both aural experimenters and emotionally sensitive storytellers.
