Maxim Faster ofTheVenusinScorpio reveals, I almost didnt record Roam because of how different and poppy it is compared to the rest of my darker synth pop! I composed a beat, a few synths, and some simple guitar progressions in Logic and then shared the demo with mygood friend and collaborator over the past year, Louie Diller (Holychild). This one really blew their mind and they took so naturally to mixing it and playing the live guitar.

TheVenusinScorpio is an electronic producer and songwriter founded by Maxim Faster.They selected their name after viewing an astrological birth chart discovering Venus was in the sign of Scorpio. The name has also inspired him to create insightful songs relating to astrology such as Retrograde.
