An exhilarating, richly textured gem that showcases Delta of Venus at their most emotionally masterful.
Already being big fans of Delta of Venus, we were beyond excited to hear about the release of their latest double single, “Intertwined b/w Intertwined (acoustic).” From the moment the track opens, there’s an ethereal shimmer layered in the distant background, subtly underpinning the track while the drums emerge, punchy yet restrained, providing an immediate sense of meditative tension. The combination sets a calm but captivating mood. The entrance is exhilarating but delicately controlled, creating a feeling of lift without overwhelming force.
When the first vocal line enters, it hits with striking presence. Delta of Venus’s voice doesn’t just ride the instrumental landscape; it shapes it. There’s a sensation that mirrors gliding above the clouds, carried by a voice that is at once tender and unwavering. Her vocal tone is immersive, wrapping around the instrumentation with ease, and what also stands out is how she holds notes with enhanced precision and control that feels like a major evolution in her delivery. This is a performance that manages to feel effortless while simultaneously bursting with intent.
Following that introduction, the drum fills are expertly placed, creating seamless transitions that reset the atmosphere and invite new layers of meaning into each lyrical section. Every break introduces a shift in mood, giving the sense that the song is continuously unfolding in unexpected but organic directions. The guitars in the background shimmer with warmth, providing a lush and resonant base that glows without becoming overbearing.
We were particularly struck by Delta of Venus’s impeccable intonation and vocal embellishments throughout the track. Her nuanced phrasing and flourishes transformed each note into something singular. These subtle details elevated the vocal lines into something more than melody; they became an active, integral part of the instrumentation. Her voice functions as both lead and support, lending rhythmic depth while maintaining perfect cohesion within the mix.
One of the most powerful moments in the production comes midway through, during a beautifully restrained breakdown. The instrumentation strips back into a nearly whispered, ghostly presence. Delta of Venus eases into this space with grace, drawing us in with soft, commanding control. It feels like an audible submission hold, gentle but impossible to resist. Then, almost imperceptibly, the tension lifts and she unleashes a wave of vocal energy that swells into a full-on sonic storm. It’s stunning.
Following that climactic passage, the chiming guitars return with a glowing resonance, offering a solo that feels earned and emotionally rich. It’s the kind of guitar moment that doesn’t just fill space; it tells a story.
We’re absolutely thrilled to have Delta of Venus back with their signature sound, which continues to be as inventive and emotionally resonant as ever. Their releases are never formulaic; they’re always fresh, always unexpected, and always a creative leap forward. “Intertwined b/w Intertwined (acoustic)” is no exception.
And when we heard the backstory behind how the acoustic version came to life, our appreciation for the release deepened even more. What began as an offhand comment from bassist Mat Tarbox during rehearsals at Dirt Floor Recording and Production became a full-fledged reimagining of the track. Guitarist Ellery Twining took the idea and brought it to life with a demo that ultimately evolved into this uniquely moving acoustic take. It’s these kinds of spontaneous, genuine moments that make certain releases feel timeless. Knowing this context makes it easy to believe that when this song inevitably gains traction and captures the wider public's attention, its origin story will be cited as part of its creative magic. Delta of Venus doesn’t force inspiration; it flows from them with raw authenticity, and that’s exactly why this track feels so pure and masterfully executed.
From a technical perspective, the recording quality of both versions is excellent. The acoustic version in particular captures an intimate, almost live-room feel, allowing the performance to breathe while still maintaining studio clarity. The engineering team, working out of Dirt Floor Recording and Production, did a superb job capturing those subtle textures and balancing restraint with sonic fullness. The nuances that make this release feel handcrafted are preserved in every frequency, and the entire production feels like it was designed with respect for the space between the sounds as much as the sounds themselves.
We highly recommend checking out “Intertwined b/w Intertwined (acoustic),” along with their debut release, which continues to resonate with us. Keep an eye on Delta of Venus; they’re clearly on a powerful creative ascent, and we expect even more incredible work from them soon.

Delta of Venus’s second double single, “Intertwined b/w Intertwined (acoustic),” marks another innovative stride forward for the band. Having already gained critical recognition with their debut, “Disengaged b/w Slipping,” this follow-up shows no signs of creative slowdown.
Their willingness to reinterpret their own work, including an acoustic version born from a casual rehearsal remark, speaks volumes about their open-ended creative process.

The band proves that inspiration can arrive from anywhere when you're open to the moment.
