I traveled a long way beside you
Though I’ve tried to be harder to find
You don’t feel the same way that I do
Yet still, you have been here all this time
Oh, Venus you’ve got a hold on me
Oh, Venus you’re so close, yet you’re so out of reach
Oh, Venus…
Oh, Venus, as you set upon my horizon
I know, that you’ll see the other side
And tomorrow when the sun is rising
I’ll have nowhere left to hide
Oh, Venus, you’ve got a hold on me
Oh, Venus, you’re so close, yet you’re so out of reach
Oh, Venus…
Then, as I look across the sky
When I can’t stop asking why
When I’m waking in the morning light
Only Venus is in sight…
Oh, Venus, you’ve got a hold on me
Oh, Venus, you’re so close, yet you’re so out of reach
Oh, Venus…

Best chord progressions on any album ever. The way the inversions move in this album feels incredibly dream like. This is the album that taught me about the power of harmonic perspective. Leo Sawikin
The thing I love most about this record is the singing, specifically Natalie's note choices. A lot of things that I can't unhear, this album had a huge impact on me as a vocalist. Leo Sawikin
Truly inventive production and incredible song writing. The vocals on this record are truly incredible and reminiscent of Edith Piaf. This record has a unique modern wall of sound that I cannot unhear Leo Sawikin
Market, from Melbourne, fuse soul and chillwave on a wonderfully woozy song with rubbery guitars & breathy harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 19, 2020
Bright, gorgeous, bashing songs from these Belgian shoegazers that never lose track of melody amidst the waves of distortion. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 23, 2023
