Our fourth single now out! @alacarterecords
This one is personal to me as it suggests the sadness and also joy of love and letting go of our own fear and anxiety, whatever it may be that is holding is back.

“Its over, Its Over”

Even when I could’nt crawl It couldn’t be true
Even when its over.
If I couldnt hear you wouldve been through
Its over.

I surrender
To you
I surrender to you”

Mirror of Venus are the LA post-punk quartet of Joy Damert (vocals, synth), Margot Rhodes (vocals, guitar), Jose Espinoza (bass), and Heidi Weber (drums) — four musicians who first played together a decade ago in San Francisco’s Mission scene and reformed as a project once their separate lives brought them to Los Angeles. Their debut LP “Never Say Forever,” out on à La Carte Records, is that project fully arrived: nine tracks and forty minutes of post-punk that treats atmosphere and urgency as the same problem.

The reference points sit across a specific stretch of late-‘70s and early-‘80s UK post-punk — The Durutti Column’s patient guitar architecture, Wire’s economy, Siouxsie and the Banshees’ vocal command, Xmal Deutschland’s dense percussive drive — with C86 shimmer around the edges. The record’s central preoccupation is identity as performance and presence as commodity: the specific loneliness of watching yourself perform online in real time, worked into songs that stretch and contract with cinematic patience. Post-punk.com on the title track: “hypnotic, melodic … gorgeous vocal interplays spanning the sublime to the feral … culminating in a glorious hook.”

Pressed on two limited 12” vinyl variants alongside all digital platforms — “Never Say Forever” is a debut that behaves like the band has been sitting with these ideas for years, because they have.

Available now for preorder.

Out everywhere November 27th. Distributed by @redeyeworldwide @clandestine_distribution by @_joyfriend

Not me being belated to my own birthday 😅 but Wednesday was my 38th Birthday! this past year a massive energetic refocus occurred in me. Like a good Leo I have always had an affinity with hair and for the past 9 months I’ve been in cosmetology school. I’m finally nearing the end of the program and I want to ~invite~ yall to follow my hair page @joy.dyevision ✂️💜✂️ …and yes top middle pic is me as a child after I cut my own mullet… and so began my hairstylist journey 🌅
thx u to everyone who has supported me along the way especially all the stylists at @hairroinsalon and @janinejarman who’s guidance has kept me sane (ish), belly full and truly inspired by her passion for hair. 🦋🦋🦋🦋 by @_joyfriend
