Our Take

Picking up VENERA 4's latest offering, Eidolon, feels like stumbling upon a hidden treasure in the depths of a thrift store vinyl bin. This Russian shoegaze outfit has crafted a sonic journey that is equal parts dreamy and dark, reminiscent of 80s post-punk with a modern twist.

From the moment the hauntingly beautiful vocals of frontwoman Angelina Lukacheva wash over you on opening track "Moon Phase," you know you're in for something special. The ethereal guitars and swirling synths transport you to a hazy, otherworldly realm where time seems to stand still.

Tracks like "Lunar Misery" and "Ancestor" showcase VENERA 4's ability to marry shimmering melodies with brooding, introspective lyrics. It's the perfect soundtrack for a late-night drive through the city or a solitary walk along a deserted beach.

Eidolon may not be breaking any new ground in the shoegaze genre, but it's a masterclass in atmosphere and mood. The production is crisp and polished, allowing every intricate detail to shine through. It's the kind of album that demands to be listened to on a good pair of headphones, with the lights dimmed and the volume turned up.

In a world of cookie-cutter pop songs and formulaic beats, VENERA 4's Eidolon is a breath of fresh air. It's a reminder that there is still beauty to be found in the shadows, and that sometimes the most captivating music is the kind that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Give this album a spin and let yourself get lost in its beguiling spell. Trust us, you won't regret it.
