CURSES - Another Heaven

Berlin-based New Yorker Luca Venezia, better known as CURSES, has joined the Italians Do It Better family. 

The musician and DJ has signed with the label run by Johnny Jewel and Megan Louise that became known for being home to Chromatics but has since also provided a release outlet lately to Mothermary, Dlina Volny, Causeway, Kid Moxie & Nina, Sally Shapiro, Bark Bark Disco and Love Object. 

For many reasons, the Italians Do It Better union is fitting; known for blending goth rock, new wave, dark disco and synth as exemplified by Venezia’s acclaimed ‘Next Wave Acid Punx’ series of compilations, ‘Another Heaven’ is the third full length CURSES album. Benefitting from Johnny Jewel’s co-production input, it develops on the gloomy vision cemented on the debut ‘Romantic Fiction’. 

Informed by Venezia’s love of alternative club music, one of the highlights of ‘Another Heaven’ comes with its title song; this takes its lead from New Order and ‘Bizarre Love Triangle’, but presents it more as an influence rather than the blatant but very good rip off that Nation Of Language’s ‘On Joy Division Street’ was. Expressing his lovestruck joy across seven wonderful minutes, Venezia said “This is a love song dedicated to the lost ones, a ballad for the lost ones to belong. We are always searching for that immortal love, divine romance, a truth to our mystery, and when we find it, we can only assume, this creature so perfect so made for you must be from an ethereal unknown place”
