Kill Shelter & Death Loves Veronica – The Sex Tape Sessions [Cold Transmission Music]

Kill Shelter, stage name of British producer Pete Burns, adds to his career a new collaboration, this time with American artist Veronica Stich, with her solo project Death Loves Veronica, a darkwave and post-industrial oriented musical proposal with which she has released numerous releases since 2018. Veronica Stich is an award-winning writer and producer. She has composed and performed music for several years with post-punk, and deathrock acts. Her solo project includes semi-modular and analog synthesizers, guitars, and experimental methods to give a dark electronic feel reminiscent of the 80s and 90s electronic post-industrial/new wave movement.

This synergy between Pete and Veronica is relentless in every conceivable artistic aspect, the style and the figures of both are diluted in the same entity, thus creating a compact and solid sonic link. Kill Shelter & Death Loves Veronica’s first multimedia collaborative work, provocatively entitled “The Sex Tape Sessions”, is an eight track EP which includes new material as well as remixes of tracks taken from Death Loves Veronica’s album “Chemical”.

Various pre-release bootleg cassettes and VHS tapes were put into circulation ahead of the official release which is scheduled for Friday the 17th March. The bootleg VHS videos, which sold out in a matter of minutes of going on sale, contain material that does not appear in any of the official releases. Owners of the Bootleg Tapes and Videos are encouraged, wherever possible, to copy, share and redistribute the material in whatever way, and by any means, they see fit.

In a highly oversaturated world where music is freely available and easily pirated without consequence, the artists question the notion of authenticity, uniqueness and value by exploring the use of redundant technology and niche platforms of distribution. This includes the use of bootleg tapes, mini DV and VHS cassettes as well as limited runs of vinyl, CD and cassette.

Release date: March 17th, 2023.
