Venus Grrrls have transcended to another plane with the explosively evocative, riff-driven dreamscape of their new single ‘Mother Knows’. Drawing upon the most gothic of imagery, as vocalist GK explains, the track is:
“written about the myth of Mary Shelley having sex on her mother’s grave. There’s a lot of discourse and nuances to whether this truly happened, but the alleged event really struck me visually and immediately inspired me to narrate it lyrically. Toying with some imagery in her iconic novel, Frankenstein, I wanted there to be a double entendre within the lyricism. Her written character, Victor Frankenstein, brought flesh to life, and I liked the idea of passion and sex also metaphorically bringing flesh to life, too.”
The track wends its way through all manner of luscious textures with an over-arching, classic rock imbibed riff from guitarist Eliza Lee.
“I got to channel some of my inner 70s rock god by bowing the guitar on the bridge, “
she says of one of the more ethereal moments in the track.
“I've always loved the haunting effect you can get with a violin bow that I don't really think you can replicate with gadgetry, it felt like the right move for the graveyard ambience of the song.”
