Music News - Venus is Dead – Long Live Jan Hellriegel
12 March 2013 - 0 Comments
Jan Hellriegel celebrates the release of her new single Venus is Dead out now via DRMNZ.
Venus is Dead has a sultry, rock feel reminiscent of The Breeders or The Pretenders. Jan’s voice is playful and defiant.
“Lyrically I think of it as a very sexy song about the play between man and woman – you can make up the rest of its meaning,” smiles Jan.
Venus is Dead is a resurrection of sorts, and part of a collection of 18 previously unreleased tracks entitled Lost Songs, to be released on May 17th.
A year ago while cleaning out the garage, Jan came across a forgotten taped up box containing a bunch of DAT and cassette recordings of old live sessions, demos and studio work from 1990 - 2003. Curious to hear them again, she headed to Stebbing Recording Studios where engineer Steve McGough carefully “baked” the old tapes and resurrected them as clean, digital files.
“On first listen I was just really pleased to hear the tunes again, and then a little sad that most had never been heard outside of the odd live gig,” says Jan. “I’m a much braver person now, and excited to put these songs out there”.
