Hailing from Norway, Tuvaband is renowned as her home country’s top indie-rock artist, with a strong international presence as well. This musical project stems from the mind of songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Norwegian-Grammy nominated producer Tuva Hellum Marschhäuser. Over the span of her accomplished career, Tuvaband’s music has received over 40 million streams on Spotify alone. Her style is recognized for its eccentricity and has been compared to artists such as David Lynch, CocoRosie, Kate Bush, and the Cocteau Twins. Tuvaband uses a variety of genres such as uplifting piano-led folk, ethereal post-rock, and complex sound design in her music, with her vocals described as both heartwrenching and intense.
Launching the next chapter in her musical journey, Tuvaband’s latest album New Orders marks a significant step in her artistic journey as it is the first time she has handled all aspects of the album production. Utilizing her diverse set of skills, Tuva plays all instruments except the trombone and drums, mixes, records, and produces in New Orders. The compilation is a bold exploration of her creativity, highlighting her one-of-a-kind indie folk-pop style. Forging a fantasy-like atmosphere, the LP is layered with Tuva’s vocals and sequences of piano that transport listeners to an alternate dimension.
In its entirety, New Orders is a pure transmission of Tuva’s full-bloom artistry and showcases her full musical identity and personality. The songs are quite eccentric, and the instrumentation and sonics are complex but still manages to keep the focus on her voice. This groundbreaking compilation is considered as one of Tuva’s most iconic works throughout her acclaimed career.
