The Venus Figurines have marked their musical territory with a powerful and thought-provoking album titled โModern Paradigm.โ This 10-track compilation is a journey into the depths of energetic performances, gripping vocals, and intricate lyrical narratives.
The blast of rock starts with โHoliday,โ whose lyrics tell a story of the capitalistic hierarchy gnawing at our necks with the right amount of frustration. From the very outset of โModern Paradigm,โ the quartet has built upon their influences'(Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, and Linkin Park) thematic energy with their distinctive aura and sound.
The album carries the explosive energy of dualing guitars, the backbone chasing the rest of the musical journey. The proggy guitars riff and blare with relentless intensity, creating a powerful foundation complemented by punchy and dynamic drums creating the classic vision of rock in fusion with shoegaze.
Collapsing with a thoughtful narrative on leaving relationships with โChanging Tides,โย โModern Paradigmโ presents us with the essence of rock.
The cover art, featuring the iconic Venus de Milo sculpture, gets behind the albumโs concept with the alluring beauty of her tragedy, striking the match like poetry. This motif of embracing humanityโs flaws resonates throughout the albumโs exploration of love and human connection.
At the forefront of this musical landscape is a voice, hazy, full-throttled, and powerfull. With the lead vocalistโs delivery as the albumโs conduit, โModern Paradigmโ is explored with vibrant energy.
