about

VANDANA image

VANDANA Brooklyn, New York

Fusing elements of dark wave electronica with experimental pop, Vandana’s music embraces womanhood and otherness as if from inside the mouth of a cave. In her latest EP Nox Anima, the singer, producer and visual artist brings her insular and mysterious writing process to life via slow-dripping, throbbing synths and poignant vocal melodies creating an atmosphere that’s haunting and exotic. ... more

Track Name: Vicious
you're like a tick within my skin
tickling your way in and around
the more i appear you disappear

when you walk in the room,
looking so gorgeously I cry
stick thin and you occupy all the space

vicious like a ripe apple
fallen off of his tree
you let me observe but never dabble

my skin my cells analyze the situation
in my fairytale feathered head
the crumbs that you feed me
seem so ample

and then you walk in the room
looking so gorgeously
stick thin and you occupy all the space

vicious like a ripe apple
fallen off of his tree
you let me observe but never dabble
Track Name: Raven Black
happiness
if you were my girl,
I'd dress you in raven
I'd dress you in raven black
I'd dress you in raven black
to confuse them
to confuse you

happiness
if you were my girl,
happiness
if you were my girl,
I'd dress you in raven

you smile at strange little things
unknown to yourself you sprout wings
so terribly strange
how horribly strange
heads twist and itch
to know your secret

happiness
until you cut the string
happiness
until you cut the string
I'd dress you in raven

to confuse them
to confuse you
to confuse them
to confuse you
to confuse them
to confuse you
Track Name: Nearly
your head's on display
on my cutting board
and knives are about to play
doctor doctor
doctor doctor

my hands are shaking
I sense trouble coming
cause there isn't an inch of space
nearly nearly
nearly nearly

I'm fighting the wind
to get through the door
and my legs are about to give in
nearly nearly
nearly nearly

you feel nothing
you feel nothing
there's no love lost between us
there's no love lost between us

you feel nothing
you feel nothing
Track Name: Jaan
In the dark and the light
drifting mirrors
blazing cries
shifting bodies
creased and dry
I'll walk with you jaan (life in Hindi)

through the forests crocodiles
synchronizing arm in arm
harmonized
in war and in love
I'll dream with you jaan

through the forests crocodiles
synchronizing arm in arm
harmonized
in war and in love
I'll dream with you jaan
I'll dream with you jaan

warm on the coldest day
tangled knees
thick with sweat
coloured mouths
eyes all smiles
ill stare into you
keeping us warm
keeping us tight

Hmm.....
Track Name: Dare Me Devil
wasting the dawn
with sleep in my eyes
hair in my mouth
clutching the pillow
submergence oh
a tricky delight
a tricky delight
a tricky delight
a tricky delight

screaming no words
none will come out no
hearing myself inside
but outside im shut up
sticks of self destruction
sticks of self destruction
sticks of self destruction

dare me devil
taunt me taunt me
that can never change
taunts me taunts me
will me out of this haunting
this haunting
this haunting

except me in my head
there's no one here
is nobody listening
is nobody listening
is nobody listening
