We knew there was something special about Tiberius b when we first encountered their impeccable heartfelt anthem 'No Smoke' a couple of years back. Having moved from strength to strength since then, with 2 flawless EPs under their belt, 2023's 6-track release DIN felt particularly special. Striking a chord with their open lyricism and second to none songwriting skills, the triumphant collection of sonically satisfying stories explore intimate parts of Tiberius b's identity, discussing their experience as a non-binary person on 'Twofer' and celebrating trans beauty on 'HHB'. Having also been lucky enough to catch one of their breathtaking stripped-back live performances at Avalon Cafe a while, we can vouch that Tiberius b's talents are a worthy of mass appreciation. -Holly Mullineaux
