Von Venn Stand Out With “Only In The Night”
After months of teasing snippets on social media and building anticipation around their upcoming album “Forgetting the Fall,” Von Venn have just dropped “Only In The Night.” The Dublin quartet had set expectations reasonably high with previous releases and they do not mess around here. But does this latest offering deliver on that promise?
This time the band tackles the thornier emotional territory of relationships that end not in flames but in quiet resignation. Cox’s vocals carry a weightiness and his tones float through the mix with confidence. The opening guitar work also establishes its hook without resorting to obvious tricks, settling into a rhythm section that actually invites you to get lost rather than simply demanding attention.
Like the best indie rock that draws from both Radiohead’s introspective moments and The National’s measured melancholy, “Only In The Night” lets you absorb its themes gradually. The female harmonies blend through Cox’s lead vocals without overwhelming them, creating texture that reveals new details on repeated listens.
Cox also navigates themes of incompatible life goals and bittersweet endings here with genuine insight. His explanation of the central concept reveals thoughtful consideration instead of just manufactured drama. Early hesitation gives way to confident delivery as the track builds, and the lush harmonies allow the chorus to reach new heights.

London-born, South Africa-based folk artist Seth Tabatznik unveils his latest single, “Shining For Love”, a luminous and heartfelt composition that celebrates life, love and the natural world.
Built around layers of atmospheric acoustic guitars, devotional strings, soft shakers, and Seth’s evocative vocal delivery, “Shining For Love” captures a sense of reverence that feels timeless. Each element moves with intention, allowing the song to bloom from a whisper into a radiant, full-bodied expression of gratitude and connection.
“This song came to me in a forest, spoken by the elements around me”, Seth shares. “It was like nature took my pen and transcribed the lyrics into my notebook, accompanied by a simple four-chord progression. I love how the song builds and accelerates as a celebration of life, love, and nature. Every sound, every movement, is her way of expressing herself as she is one being, of which we are a part, not apart.”
Now based in the Western Cape mountains of South Africa, Seth’s music is steeped in a deep respect for the land and the lessons it offers. His work bridges folk traditions, medicine music, and contemporary songwriting, echoing influences from Bon Iver, Noah Kahan, and Nick Mulvey, who also mentored Seth during the development of his forthcoming album.
With “Shining For Love,” Seth Tabatznik continues to carve his own path; one defined by warmth, sincerity and an unwavering devotion to the beauty of being alive.
