Ahead of their European tour next month—with select dates opening for Chameleons Vox—VV and the Void are premiering their video for “God Machine”, a track whose dark shoegaze elements evoke the ethereal sound that was part and parcel of early 90s goth.
On the song and album, singer/songwriter Valentina Veil explains:
“God Machine, as well as the whole album, was inspired by esoteric readings that definitely influenced and changed my approach to music and songwriting.
The Upper Room is a sort of concept album, a journey through the tree of life and its different spheres. A journey that starts from our body as a medium and the contradictions between our animal instincts and our search for the unknown. A journey from that painful “Thorn” (opening song of the album) that make us bleed and shows us our weaknesses, to our need to unveil the unknown and find the truth (God Machine). It’s a spiral journey, there is no end, no beginning, just a constant floating without any outcome, the journey starts over and over again (Et Apres, closing song) because life does not exist without death, good is nothing without evil, the Upper Room would not be without the underworld.”
“God Machine” is featured on VV and the Void’s debut LP The Upper Room, which is out May 25th via Cleopatra Records. The album was mixed and mastered by Lindsay Gravina (HTRK, The Birthday Party, Rowland S. Howard, Swervedriver) at Birdland Studios, in Melbourne, Australia.
