Mountain
Unkillable
Revelation
You are now inside Future Flesh.
The push and pull between beauty and terror.
A liquid mirror of revelation.
An extrasensory dream full of contradictions.
Flesh tattooed from the inside with invisible ink.
Shape shifter.
A glowing, pitch black blossom.
Grace and fury.
A curious eros, this place.
Let me take you here.
There will be a sheer drop over the edge.
Freefalling.
You will make honey out of acid.
And you won't mind it at all.
This is a selection of songs from my upcoming 8 track LP, Future Flesh.

"Brooklyn-based artist Vandana challenges the archetype of the female pop star with Anti Venus. Intelligent, dark, and alluring… Through the metaphysical resonance, it's almost as if your brain is transported into a musical k-hole, but you won't mind it at all."
– BROOKLYN VEGAN
.
"Vandana's eclectic upbringing has seen her life scattered across three continents. The resultant patchwork of musical influences to which she has been exposed are instantly audible within her own mesmeric and haunting work… Nox Anima is a rewarding collection of murky, metaphysical alt-pop, with a scattering of Vandana's diverse, left-field influences."
– THE LINE OF BEST FIT
.
"It is precisely this balance of darkness and light, the artificial coupled with the natural that has been heard on recent singles, 'Ecstatic', and 'Mask', that both obfuscates and disguises through the agony and ecstasy of electronic couture."
– IMPOSE MAGAZINE
.
"When listening to the first two minutes of Vandana's new song 'Mask' listeners can be often reminded of the dark tones that many have come to appreciate from Nine Inch Nails' industrial electronics."
– EARMILK
.
"Vandana creates a hazy and lurching mood on her latest release Nox Anima. The overall project brings to mind comparisons with artists such as Fka Twigs and Arca."
– THE PLAYGROUND
