VV & The Void | Dark Wave / Germany
Comments about the new record include:
VV & the Void keeps getting better! An immersive sound with engulfing and deep soundstage. Layered without clear leads but not mushy either. Atmospheric and driving at the same time. Draws me in and every listen finds something new in the tracks. Great throughout. Just hope for some releases on vinyl! Favorite track: Cast in Stone. “
“Mesmerizing, enchanting, hypnotizing”
“A dark, enthralling masterpiece”
“Mesmerizing and divine”
“A deep dive into Twin Peaks and David Lynch vibes”.
Valentina Veil started VV & The Void in Melbourne, Australia, and quickly gained the attention of followers, music writers, and producers in the international and underground music scenes of Australia, the USA, the UK, and Europe.
VV & the Void signed with the label Cleopatra Records in 2018 and released through the Los Angeles-based label their first full-length album titled, “The Upper Room” on May 25th, 2018. Valentina Veil has written, recorded, and produced the album that was mixed by Lindsay Gravina (HTRK, The Birthday Party, Rowland S. Howard, Swervedriver) at Birdland Studios, in Melbourne, Australia.
Often described as ethereal, gothic, minimal-drone, noir, and dark wave, VV & the Void’s music is the singular celebration of the earthly and lucid dichotomy of grace and disproportion, the feminine and the masculine, the moon and the sun, birth and death, and the war of consciousness from the perspective of Unconsciousness.
The band toured extensively in Europe and was invited by Chameleons Vox to join the UK leg of their tour in 2018. Valentina Veil is also a regular collaborator of the Los Angeles/Berlin dark - post-punk band Night Nail on their “LA Demons” and “March to Autumn” on vocals, synth, and guitar.
VV & The Void has released the single “Replicant” followed by the launch of her second full-length album on Dec 17th, 2020 through Cleopatra Records. The album has been mixed by John Fryer (Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode) and mastered by Pete Burns (Kill Shelter).
VV recently wrote the music for “The Poet” on a compilation of remixes of famed occultist Aleister Crowley featuring the voice of the Beast himself and the production talents of witch house artists Ritualz and ∆aimon plus dark synth act NewSlave, Alan Davey’s Hawkestrel, internationally renowned instrumentalist Jozef Van Wissem, and lots more.
Valentina Veil also appears on one of the tracks of the new record of the Melbourne-based dark folk songwriter Plum Green and recently collaborated with Pete Burns (Kill Shelter) on the track “Queen of Hearts” on his latest release “Asylum” (July 15th 2022-Manic Depression-Metropolis Records)”.
VV & The Void is currently writing her third full-length album mixed by James Aparicio (Spiritualized, Depeche Mode, Mogwai, Moby, Nick Cave / Grinderman, Liars, Mute Records) out next Spring.
