nope drenched with mood and atmosphere. evokes the post-punk and early shoegaze nostalgia without retreading the same ground Favorite track: Girls (Fawns Of Love cover).

Charlie Mayer If I were to choose any tone for my make-believe band, I would choose this release as a template for creating beautiful atmospheric 'gaze. What a brilliant follow-up to their first album! Knowing that certain members are leaving adds more lyrical significance to "Departure". If this is a sign of things to come, this will easily be in contention for dream-pop/shoegaze album of the year. Just give Life on Venus a listen, and suddenly your life will improve in every way! Favorite track: What Lies Beneath.

Silent we walk Through darkened fields Covered in smoke Midnight is still I'm left behind I clench my fists I want to know What lies beneath A fire burns inside us As long as we exist A million lights above us Will show what lies beneath I hear the time Screaming my name I've crossed the line I've lost the game Our pale shapes Move in the mist We can escape We will resist Nothing can stop Our beating hearts We are the sun We are the stars I'm left behind I clench my fists I want to know What lies beneath A fire burns inside us As long as we exist A million lights above us Will show what lies beneath

I'm at the door but Nobody's in Chills running down my spine Somewhere behind this Cold silver screen I hope you're doing fine

For the Kill 03:34
The darkness deepens As I flee into the night I'll give myself to winds And running traffic lights My body weakens As I race the morning sun I'll run away from everything And everyone Cause tonight I'll go for the kill To find what's real I promise I will I will fight To know what is right And if I still feel I promise I will As I surrender To the cold of morning mist I feel endangered But I don't think I'll resist I still remember Everything I've left behind I'll open up my hollow hands And let it die

St. Valentine I’ve wrote a poem for thee Expressing my girlfriend’s beauty Girls Take off your gloves Take off your silk stockings Its been waiting an eternity for you and me One, two, three, it’s so fun to see We tighten our corsets And admire hair spun from gold Girls Take off your gloves Take off your silk stockings Its been waiting an eternity for you and me

about
