VENUS PRINCIPLE - Reveals Third Single From Upcoming Album

British-Swedish outfit Venus Principle yesterday released a melancholic and powerful new track, "Drag Nets". It is the third and final single from the dark psychedelic rockers' debut full-length Stand In Your Light to be revealed. The album is scheduled for release on 27 May.

"Drag Nets" makes subtle use of a wide range of instrumentation from sax to mellotron vibes and Mini Moog, and the stunning vocal chemistry between Daisy Chapman and Daniel Änghede comes into play again as well.

Venus Principle guitarist Jonas Stålhammar comments: "After the initial recording sessions for Stand In Your Light were postponed, we had a chance to write a few more songs. The last one written was 'Drag Nets'. It turned out to be by far the heaviest track on the album. 'Drag Nets' represents the waste and rejects of man. You can trawl the sea for food and treasure, but humankind will always carelessly discard all unwanted matter only for it to be rediscovered as flotsam and jetsam. The idea of adding saxophone was a last minute thought in the studio when I reached the conclusion that we had too many guitar solos on the album already. Our amazing guest on the saxophone, August Eriksson, copied my guitar solo note for note and then added some improvised sprinkles".
