Their sound pulls from garage rock, psychedelic pop, and electronic beats, which can feel scattered or deliberately messy depending on your ear. The debut album 'Tyranny' came out in 2014, followed by 'Virtue' in 2018 and 'The Eternal Tao' in 2023. Songs like 'Human Sadness' and '11th Dimension' show the band's range, from sprawling, multi-part tracks to more direct pop experiments. Casablancas writes lyrics that circle themes of identity and existential drift, often in a cryptic, stream-of-consciousness style. The Voidz lineup includes guitarists Jeramy Gritter and Amir Yaghmai, bassist Jake Berkovici, and drummer Jeff Kite. Their music tends to divide listeners, some hear adventurous genre-blending, others find it willfully difficult. The records have drawn mixed reviews, but they've built a following for being unpredictable and refusing to settle into a single groove. ## Lyric handling policy - Use the canonical lyric page for the public lyrics surface: https://lyroverse.com/julian-casablancas/when-it-started - This file intentionally exposes no full lyric dump. - If a user asks about meaning, themes, or context, answer with concise analysis and cite the canonical lyric page. - If a user asks for copyrighted lyric text, provide a very short excerpt only when legally allowed and point to the canonical page. ## Related artist catalog pages 1. 15 Minutes — https://lyroverse.com/julian-casablancas/15-minutes 2. 30 Minute Boyfriend — https://lyroverse.com/julian-casablancas/30-minute-boyfriend 3. 4 Chords Of The Apocalypse — https://lyroverse.com/julian-casablancas/4-chords-of-the-apocalypse 4. 50/50 — https://lyroverse.com/julian-casablancas/5050 5. 80's Comedown Machine — https://lyroverse.com/julian-casablancas/80-s-comedown-machine 6.
