\"\"<\/h3>\n

Melancholic indie music duo, Tuvaband \u2013 consisting Norwegian vocalist Tuva Hellum Marchhauser and British guitarist Simon Would released their new single, ‘Trees’ – taken from their yet-to-be-released EP ‘Mess’ – via Brilliance Records on 27 September 2017.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Talking to Essentially Pop, Tuvaband tells us the message behind trees, what to expect from ‘Mess’ and what\u2019s next for the band.<\/strong><\/p>\n

EP: What is the message and inspiration behind your new single ‘Trees’?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We read an article about the environmental issues in different parts of the world so ‘Trees’ was born from the need to reflect these issues.<\/p>\n

EP: Your new EP ‘Mess’ is due for release on 1 November 2017. Can you tell me a little bit about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The EP ‘Mess’ is more about people and society. When you\u2019ve done a lot of thinking about yourself and your own issues but then you go out and discover that the world is just badly messed up as you are.<\/p>\n

EP: Of all the songs on the EP which one is your personal favourite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are 5 songs on the EP and my personal favourite is a song called ‘Eventually Silence’. The message is more about an aftermath of trauma \u2013 when you\u2019re in the midst of a trauma, you don\u2019t notice what it\u2019s doing to you but then when it\u2019s suddenly silence where you realize<\/p>\n

EP: How would you describe your sound?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our sound is very raw. When we record we try not to cut out small mistakes. We also try to make it fun and not be too critical. Our sound consists of a lot of vocals and guitar.<\/p>\n

EP: Would you say your sound had changed in any way since debut?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, I don\u2019t think it has changed much. Although there have been people that said our EP was pretty and cute, which is the worst thing to hear! So we have tried to toughen up our image a bit more, maybe try to toughen my singing as well!<\/p>\n

EP: You are from Norway and your bandmate Simon is from Britain. Do you think this influences your music?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know! We both have qualities that the other doesn\u2019t, but I don\u2019t know if it has anything to do with him being British and me Norwegian, it’s more just about our personalities.<\/p>\n

EP: What is the best piece of advice you\u2019ve ever been given?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Best piece of advice \u2013 It\u2019s a bit clich\u00e9 but make the music that you like. If people like it then great, and if not it\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

EP: Is there any artist you\u2019ve been listening to recently that would love to recommend?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Nilufer Yanya is someone I\u2019m super obsessed with right now!<\/p>\n

EP: What\u2019s next for the band?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope the next EP will be released soon after ‘Mess’, it\u2019s almost finished. Also touring and festivals!<\/p>\n
