Some music videos are just flashy visuals slapped onto a song. Others—like Delta of Venus' "Disengaged b/w Slipping"—are full-blown cinematic experiences. This isn’t just a video—it’s a vision, a reimagining, and a statement all rolled into one.
The Mystic, CT-based Indie Pop / Shoegaze band have always had a flair for dreamy, atmospheric soundscapes, but this release takes things to another level. The long-form video reimagines the story of Joan of Arc, asking the question: What if she had lived? What if, instead of perishing at nineteen, she became the leader of a modern-day feminine resistance? The result is a stunning, almost mythological, narrative set against the backdrop of Mystic, CT, where rebellion, strength, and mysticism collide in visually breathtaking ways.
Directed, filmed, and styled by Mystic photographer Michelle Gemma, the video is pure visual poetry—a mix of haunting imagery, hypnotic performances, and ethereal cinematography.
The band, Ellery Twining (guitar), Issy (vocals/lyrics), Mat Tarbox (bass & sequencer programming), and Shawn Fake (drums), crafts a sound that feels both intimate and expansive. Produced by Eric M. Lichter at Dirt Floor in Middletown, CT, the tracks shimmer with layers of reverb-drenched guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and hazy, melancholic melodies—the perfect sonic backdrop for this tale of resistance and reinvention.
Standout moments in the video include its eerie yet empowering imagery—a group of women, defiant yet graceful. The symbolism is rich, and the cinematography is painterly—every frame feels like it could be a standalone photograph.
It’s an art piece, a reimagined history, and a deeply evocative experience. If you’re into music that feels cinematic, storytelling that breaks the mold, and visuals that linger long after the screen fades to black, Disengaged b/w Slipping is something you need to watch.
Delta of Venus just proved that they’re not just making music—they’re making art that demands to be felt.
Disengaged b/w Slipping is available now to watch on youtube, and stream on all major streaming platforms
