Von Venn is the main project of songwriter Gary Cox. The name for the project/band derives from the concept that we become who we are based upon the intersection of life experiences gathered, people we meet and lessons we learn along the way. Similarly, the songs are an intersection of musical styles that influenced that Gary’s song writing, artists such as Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, The Blue Nile, John Martyn, John Lennon and many more
The result is primarily guitar-centred songs that examine the intricacies of human nature and experiences. The aim is to craft something for everyone to connect with and explore at an emotional level. Hope, regret, loss, longing, nostalgia, attraction, love is all explored.
Following the critical success of the singles ‘Ghost’ and ‘Constant Girl’, Von Venn are new set to unleash their eagerly anticipated album Jeanie is Out.
The album is a collection of introspective and melodic songs that explore the human condition. The album draws on influences from past indie and alternative greats while still creating a unique distinctive sound.
The songs for the album were written by the main vocalist and songwriter Gary Cox during 2022 and 2023. The songs were initially written on an old acoustic guitar. They were recorded and developed on a small home recording system and then brought to Soundcaster Studios Dublin Ireland.
Drums, vocals and additional instruments were tracked and layered to achieve the rich textured sound on the album. While the songs have a great diversity of feel there’s a strong cohesive identity throughout. The songs have something for everyone to connect with at an emotional level.
Jeanie is Out is available on all major streaming platforms now.
