Ahead of their biggest headline shows to date next month, alt-rock coven VENUS GRRRLS release their mesmerising new single “Ivy Tree”. Continuing their creative endeavours with Max Helyer (You Me At Six), the track was co-written and produced alongside Numen Studios, marking the band’s most ambitious and atmospheric release yet.
Wrapped in darkly hypnotic melodies and driven by VENUS GRRRLS’ commanding intensity, “Ivy Tree” is accompanied by a Midsommar-esque visual odyssey directed with filmmaker Misha Warren. Otherworldly yet visceral, the video plunges viewers into a fantasy where ritual, nature, and liberation collide.
About the new single, VENUS GRRRLS say “Ivy Tree is a song of reclamation and sisterhood, referencing the strength and unity between the coven-turned-band. Painting a dreamscape of a matriarchy where there is liberation, it is a juxtaposition of a danse-macabre that so often is the reality for women. Siphoning paganistic imagery and nods to the divine feminine, Ivy Tree stands as a battle cry for fury and redemption.”
The release crowns a defining year for VENUS GRRRLS, who have already made their mark with standout performances at SXSW, powerful debut appearances at Download Festival and 2000Trees Festival, and delivered a spellbinding set at the Royal Albert Hall supporting James Arthur for Teenage Cancer Trust.
This October, they’ll bring that momentum to their biggest headline shows yet: a sold-out hometown celebration at The Key Club in Leeds, an upgraded Dublin date at Whelans to meet overwhelming demand, and a London night at Oslo.
