Venus IIAussie electronic upstarts Venus II are all set for the imminent release of their debut album, Inside Your Sun, this week, preceding its arrival by generously and exclusively providing The Music with a three-minute teaser trailer boasting bits and bobs from the upcoming album, and it's just a bit fucked, in the best way.
Featuring wholesale visual insanity that evokes (and outright reuses) the imagery of the band's recent clip for the full-length's heady title track, the video should probably not be experienced while under the influence of, well, anything, mixing in far-more-normal behind-the-scenes footage of the album's creation alongside the brightly coloured, kaleidoscopic terror.
Also anchoring the video to reality are the infrequent interview snippets with member Jarrad Brown (Eagle & The Worm, Dorsal Fins), who recounts the origins of meeting Venus II collaborator Ryan Grieve (Canyons) as well as explaining the organic development of the pair as musicians upon taking up together ("Every sort of band or music you do always has an evolution in it," he explains) amid disparate pieces of live, behind-the-scenes and produced footage.
The clip runs for a shade under three-and-a-half minutes, so take the time out to find out a little bit more about, and hear a little bit more from, one of the country's most buzzworthy emergent acts by watching it for yourself below.
Inside Your Sun will be released this Friday, 19 August, via Warner Music Australia. Pre-orders are available now.
