Artist Spotlight: Zhir Vengersky

Zhir Vengersky - Farewell, My Lovely

Art punk, no wave, experimental rock, avant-garage. Hypnagogia, trains, virtual anime girls, and Raymond Chandler novels. Angular melodies, primitive song structure, emotive and theatrical vocals, washes and blasts of analog synthesizer noise.

After spending a year and a half writing "Behind Every Drive-Thru Window in the World" and being incredibly deliberate about the production, and composition, I decided to let my subconscious do the work for me. I wrote a set of rules for myself, among which were "deliberation is the enemy of the process", "the best guitar part is the one that requires you to move your fingers the least", "just because you can doesn't mean you should", among many others. The result was more shapeshifting and dream-like than other productions.

I am the artist. I create the art. The audience decides what's noteworthy about it.
