“Heavenly melody merges with intriguing electronics” (Clash)
“Atmospheric” (Alt Press)
“Melancholic music has never felt so good” (Wonderland)
“We recorded and produced the EP in each of our flats. After
recording, we got help from Jonas Kjølstad of At The Loft Records to create the
sound to be a mix between our first demos, Lisa Cranner’s music, and Bon Iver’s
first album.”
Tuvaband is a Norwegian/English duo made of Tuva Hellum
Marschhaüser and Simon Would. Their sound is a melancholic dream world of indie
and contemplative lo-fi folk aesthetics influenced by Bon Iver. However you
describe their sound, it’s quickly gaining mass appeal. Since their first
release one year ago their songs are already pushing 13 million Spotify plays.
Their new single, “Mess” is a poetic song gently balancing piano and acoustic
guitar with Tuva’s voice. The effect is an immersive listening experience that
invokes imagery of a bird guarding an empty nest from predators.
With comparisons to the likes of Laura Marling and The
Staves, Tuvaband have regularly been named as one of the best new Scandinavian
bands currently looking to dominate the UK’s music scene. And with songs
like these, it is easy to see why so many have already fallen for their charm.
About the EP, the band says, “We recorded and produced the
EP in each of our flats. After recording, we got help from Jonas Kjølstad of At
The Loft Records to create the sound to be a mix between our first demos, Lisa
Cranner’s music, and Bon Iver’s first album.” Overall, the EP feels like a
beckoning call to return to nature, which also means disconnecting from the
electronics that rule our lives. The lyrics are sophisticated and artistic,
gracefully narrating stories like a choir of birds in a tranquil forest.
Tuvaband’s Mess EP is out NOW on Brilliance Records.
