Los Angeles-based band Peel Dream Magazine released the music video for “Venus In Nadir” today.
The track is the leading single from their upcoming mini-album Taurus, set to drop on October 1, 2025, via Topshelf Records.
Clocking in as a short and upbeat indie-pop tune, “Venus In Nadir” captures the band’s knack for shimmering melodies and breezy energy while offering a glimpse of what’s to come on the new release.
About the track by Joe Stevens:
“This is a song that I started during the Rose Main Reading Room sessions but kind of gave up on.
I revisited it after the album came out, reworked the lyrics and some of the overdubs, and ended up with this really simple twee song about a forlorn recluse who is withering away from an requited love.
I imagined him confined to a log cabin, withdrawing from the civilized world, maybe because the guitar voicings felt very Nick Drake-y.
“Venus In Nadir” is what came out and it seemed right.
I was already kicking around this astrology motif, which is mysterious to me because I’m highly skeptical of it.
But that’s what’s cool about writing songs – you can take these mental images off the shelf, make a mess of them, and you don’t have to worry about putting them back when you’re done.”
