The Visual is an Amsterdam-based outfit formed by songwriter Anna van Rij, keyboard player Timon Persoon and drummer Jochem van Rooijen. Utilizing lush atmospherics, intricate melodic currents and dissonance, Van Rij's voice stands front and center as a nurturing, seductive, forlorn and longing presence, fluidly veering between these moods on the slightest whim. The Visual explores themes of identity, gender binaries and relationships from an inbred vantage point, leveling preconceived human notions to an overarching and elemental musical force.

On the nimble and nocturnal track Lost In Translation, Van Rij ponders whether she herself can exist beyond rigid effigies of girl vs boy, hoping to liberate herself from "the things I already know." She reveals a clarity that doesn't spell from what you remember or learn, but from what you wish to forget or unlearn. The song seeks reassurance in that resounding silence of just being over the anxiety-inducing noise that distorts oneself from these unspoken truths.
