TIIVA WAVES

‘Waves’ is the debut single from brand new London outfit Tiiva. The track is ethereal and dreamy, placing melodies against a wobbly accompaniment built on edited voices, warm synths and a wide drum pattern. The influence of the likes of Charlie XCX and James Blake is clear in the music, while lyrically, the track feels like an expressive and highly personal diary entry. They explain that ‘Waves’ is “about completely losing time, finding out that time hasn’t actually stopped and we’re late for everything... it’s about an untouchable feeling that you have to write down because the mundane words of everyday sentences could never describe it.” Be on the lookout for more from Tiiva. -Dan Peeke
