Venus Furs / Paranoia

New single from Venus Furs, "Paranoia"



The Skinny Review:
I hear so many different genres in this song - psych rock, indie, industrial, and maybe a touch of new wave - all in a swirling, brooding track that is somehow simultaneously tense yet vibrant.

In Their Own Words:
I wrote "Paranoia" as an examination of mental health, looking at a bout of anxiety and depression. Dominated by a groovy bass riff and heavily delayed guitar.

The accompanying video attempts to capture the associated feelings of isolation and alienation, running after and away from yourself, and the discomfort of being alone whether you're in a crowd or on your own. Coincidentally, it was filmed just before social distancing was put into effect – a foreshadowing to the isolation we are all currently experiencing.
