Entangled in Sound: Delta of Venus Tugs at the Heart with “Intertwined b/w Intertwined (acoustic)”

Delta of Venus doesn’t just deliver a song with “Intertwined b/w Intertwined (acoustic)”—they drop you into an emotional slipstream. This double-sided single is a beautiful collision of texture, tone, and tenderness, each version offering its own distinct gravitational pull.

The main version of “Intertwined” leans deep into the band’s shoegaze roots—lush guitars swirl like fog around a steady, almost meditative rhythm. It’s the sound of searching for meaning in the noise of the world, and there’s something quietly revolutionary in its restraint. The instrumentation doesn’t shout, it embraces. You feel it—not just in your ears, but somewhere under your ribs.

Then comes the acoustic version: unexpected, stripped-down, and somehow just as haunting. Born from a throwaway rehearsal joke, it ends up being the emotional counterweight to its electric sibling. It’s not just acoustic shoegaze—it’s a reimagining that feels intimate, like the band has stepped into your living room, offering the same emotions in raw form. Ellery Twining’s acoustic arrangement feels as if it’s been carved out of stillness, revealing the song’s quiet soul.

Together, both tracks speak to empathy in chaos and connection across distance. “Intertwined” doesn’t just resonate—it lingers. This isn’t just a follow-up to “Disengaged b/w Slipping”—it’s a confident, contemplative expansion. And Delta of Venus? They’re definitely onto something special.
