VOYNA is the side project of Peer Lebrecht, singer and creative director of the Berlin-based Post-Punk/Dark Wave outfit GOLDEN APES.
"...If even the protagonist harbored doubts regarding the fact if VOYNA was just a one-time vehicle to deliver the massive and spanning “The Cinvat Bridge” two years ago, all speculations can come to a close now with a pile of 6 new songs, packed up to this extended play!” And upon listening, it feels that time took the right path…
Was the debut´s setting woven from a somewhat fragile curiosity and the amount of varieties a readjustment of the compass can offer (musically and mentally), this new output feels more solid, more navigated, like a vessel, carrying the listener on a voyage through uncharted emotional waters, guided by a current only, but with a trust in its direction.
Like with its predecessor the sonic landscapes are again built from a mosaic of stylistic pieces, bits and fragments, drawing inspiration from the topography of Post-Punk, Darkwave, Artrock and Electro, intertwined, blended, folded and set under an all-spanning, sky-like melancholy, whose evanescent shades and nuances reflect the profound intricacies intrinsic to the human condition, where sorrow and beauty entwine in delicate equilibrium…” (Vito Schneider, June 2023)
