Operating on a plane between avant-garde indie, electronica and cosmic psychedelia, Voka Gentle have an amorphous sound.

Operating on a plane between avant-garde indie, bubbling electronica and cosmic psychedelia, London group Voka Gentle have an addictive, amorphous sound. A three limb ed beast made up of twins Ellie and Imogen Mason , and William J. Stokes, each is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer with an imperious understanding of three dimensional sound.

The newest single ”Necrofauna / The Garden of Eden” – features Wayne Coyne from The Flaming Lips.
The hallucinatory mix of squelching synth bass and rhythmic samples, three-tiered harmonies playing off against William”s sprechgesang, and a cutting, full-bodied drum beat is reflected in the oneiric themes.

”This song is a dream sequence about the narrator entering the Garden of Eden, the emblem of an idealised pastoral relationship with the natural world, and realising they can”t stand it and want t o consume and bring destruction to it (I see a deer pass me by and I break its neck / Rip off its hind leg and take a bite through fur, sinew and bone).”

”Necrofauna / The Garden of Eden” – recorded with neo – metal battalion Pigsx7 guitarist and producer Sam Grant – is the first release in earnest since 2019”s acclaimed debut album ”Start Clanging Cymbals”, released via Nude Records. Having come through the dues – paying gestation period that leads up to a debut record, there”s a sense of liberation around this new phase for Voka Gentle – a subtle confidence in their craft. It”s well earned too – with high praise from the likes of UNCUT, MOJO and The Line of Best Fit at press. Support comes too from BBC 6 Music – including presenting an edition of Stuart Maconie”s Freak Zone – and Radio 1. Tracks from that album also featured on FIFA 19 and The Sims 2020, aiding in recognition.
