Listening to Voices Voices is like being back in the womb; it’s warm yet occasionally haunting and there are voices present, but sometimes they just cannot be deciphered. However, if the womb thing were literal, then listeners could hardly be held accountable (seeing as how they have yet to learn anything about language, Teletubbies or not being submerged in embryonic fluid). Well, what is known about these two Los Angeles-based sirens is this: they do not have a Wikipedia page (yet), they heavily volunteered helping out with the “No on Prop 8” campaign, Prefuse 73 lent a huge hand as far as the production on the EP and (not surprisingly) they are on to something with this music stuff. Origins is not very long at all, but despite its physical length, VV undoubtedly strikes a nerve with their psychedelic, ambiance-creating, post-apocalyptic-but-in-a-good-way experimental goodness. Using instrumentation conducted by instruments Voices Voices is rumored to not have a real grasp of comes as a surprise; such claims usually do not lead to lush creations. Just what kind of experience does Origins conjure exactly? Though a bit strong to some, a fair description may very well be hearing the voice of God—for some, meaning sitting in a cathedral listening to angels while for others: orgasm. Wherever “church” truly is, it doesn’t matter: the vicissitudes are there and Voices Voices deliver a grand experience.
