Venamoris, the darkly romantic duo of Paula and Dave Lombardo, return with their latest holiday release “Dreaming of You,” continuing what has become their annual festive tradition. “What began as a one-time spark has become an annual ritual,” Paula Lombardo shares. “‘Dreaming of You’ drifts in as our fourth unexpected holiday song, a wintry dreamscape about longing, connection, and the ghosts that live inside a melody.” The track unfolds like a cinematic reverie, intertwining beauty and melancholy in the way only Venamoris can, blurring the line between love song and haunting lullaby.
The single follows their acclaimed debut album ‘To Cross or To Burn,’ released earlier this year via Ipecac Recordings. That record showcased singles like “In The Shadows,” “Truth,” and “Spiderweb,” plus a stirring cover of the Scorpions’ “Animal Magnetism” featuring Gary Holt. Lauded by Kerrang! as “beguiling” and praised by Treble Zine for its “dark jazz” and “exotica” influences, the album cemented Venamoris as one of the most compelling acts in experimental rock. “Dreaming of You” arrives as their second post-album release, following May’s “Contrapasso,” and reaffirms their gift for crafting music that feels both intimate and otherworldly, the perfect winter haunt.
