Tuvaband - 'Something Good'
Tuvaband sends us a big invitation into her magical indie folk world with new single ‘Something Good’.
The Grammy nominated artist’s new track oozes that soul-pop sound but with a ghostly twist, and in the process creating a stunning piece of exploration of it’s genre. This is the latest installment to be taken from her album ‘New Orders’ - which is due out in January 2023. With comparisons to Kate Bush, Cocteau Twins, David Lynch, and CocoRosie. Her songwriting exudes an indie-pop mystique, easing through delicate, piano-led folk, softly-soaring post-rock, and carefully-crafted sound design. Floating over these carefully-composed songs and densely textured soundscapes are Tuva’s fluttery vocals which manage to be both visceral and vulnerable.
‘Something Good’ presents a positive mindset and approach from Tuva, repeating ‘I do believe that something good is gonna happen’ throughout that sets a hugely catchy tone for listeners to latch onto, whereas the instrumentation changes and goes in many different sonic directions so seamlessly in the background. In this song and the rest of the album, Tuvaband records everything herself, including the process of mixing and mastering. This is the first time she has done this, which just adds to her whole offering and makes for a captivating listen by this multifaceted artist who knows no boundaries.
