Cult Of Venus releases her stunning Algorithm EP, a body of work described by FLOOD Magazine as “Reminiscent of Caroline Polacheck with a touch of a club vibe”. Listen to the EP here.
New single ‘Silence’ is also out today. Speaking about the track, Cult of Venus says: ‘The power of silence is often overlooked. Using your voice or choosing not to can have an equally powerful impact. What is not said can carry an immense weight.’
The global success of her single ‘Algorithm’ – praised by BBC 6Music for its “hefty electro beats and really powerful lyrics” – propelled her onto a European tour as main support for St. Vincent and a 28-city North American run with CHVRCHES’ Lauren Mayberry. Live, she’s every bit the “one-woman powerhouse” Lisa Worden (98.7 LA) describes, commanding guitar, synths, and soaring vocals with what BBC Radio 1’s Sian Eleri champions as “gamified glitchy goodness” and “wicked synths.”
The Algorithm EP also includes latest single ‘Sinner’ which she describes as: “A word used to invoke guilt, Sinner is is for all women who have been made to feel shame for any part of themselves. It is about radical self acceptance as a road to redemption.’
Cult of Venus is a multi-disciplinary performance artist who has played at MOMA PS1, Fotografiska’s Chapel Bar for David LaChappelle’s ‘FAITH’, and The Women’s March NYC. She has also served as artist in residence at Riker’s Island women’s jail in New York. Her music represents the meeting point of art and activism, with powerful songs critiquing environmental collapse, Disaster Capitalism, and social media as a surveillance tool.
Her sustainable upcycled merch line has raised thousands of dollars for the Women’s Prison Association and other regional charities.
