“Contrast is a primary theme to Veronica’s music—she aims to strike a balance between light and dark, optimism and pessimism, human and machine, revolution and peace. Often dreamy vocals and obscure spoken word sit on a backdrop of synthetic and acoustic sounds.”
“An unsettling mixture of electronic, industrial, and art-pop, “The Quiet Us” sees a repeated Veronica Maximova vocal line layered atop a bed of minimalist noise and hints of synthesizers trying to break through. As the vocals drop, the music intensifies, increasing anxiety with a range of glitches and noise swells. A well crafted track, “The Quiet Us” sets the bar high for what is to come with Ordinary Forever.”
“Murky avant-pop from the Berlin-based artist, whose debut album, Computerlove, explores the relationship between technology and loneliness. ”
“A startling piece of work from a creator who clearly has total command of her materials. By combining elegiac melodies and dreamlike synths with haunting drones and extreme vocal processing, Maximova creates uneasy contrasts that reflect the brutal paradox of terminal loneliness in a society that’s never been more connected.”
