British-Swedish outfit Venus Principle has just released the beautifully sorrow-laden new track "Shut It Down", as the second single taken from the dark psychedelic rockers' debut full-length Stand In Your Light, scheduled for release on 27 May.

Venus Principle's singer and pianist Daisy Chapman comments: "We wrote 'Shut It Down' while most of Europe was caught in the lockdown of spring 2020. Whilst the subject matter of a virus creeping across all the continents may already feel outdated by now, both Daniel and I were isolated in Sweden and the United Kingdom while we were penning lyrics and creating chords. At the time it felt like a post-apocalyptic nightmare. This song came together through another cross-country exchange and it embodies frustration and loneliness through soaring harmony, unrepenting guitars, and lyrics".

The obviously pandemic inspired song "Shut It Down" again features a stunning duet between Daisy Chapman and Daniel Änghede, and it's available for listening right below. As for the band's first released single, "Rebel Drones", you'll find it HERE. Link
