Powerhouse Naarm underground artist V presents ‘Faithless’ - a mesmerising post-industrial composition for synth, voice, bass, vintage electronics, Mini Pops drum machine, choir, tape manipulation and Melbourne’s extraordinary public sound sculpture: the Federation Bells.

Nominated for the 2023 Australian Music Prize, 'Faithless', is sepulchral vocals and arpeggiated percussion warped, distorted and mutated through an ever evolving cycle of cosmic gothic miasma, producing a haunting meditation on loss, yearning, psychic devastation and the failures of mental healthcare in contemporary Australia.

All tracks composed, recorded, mixed, produced and performed by V
