Tiberius b has shared the final new track ‘HHB’ ahead of the release of upcoming EP DIN, out on 30 June via Mark Ronson’s label Zelig Music.

The visuals for DIN have been integral to the project, devised alongside the music to capture the intimate, complex, beautiful and vulgar elements of human nature. Working closely with director Aidan Zamiri (Caroline Polacheck, FKA Twigs and Pinkpantheress) and stylist Hamish Wirgman, across all the visuals the trio have established a creative coalition that has elevated and confounded expectations as to what a music video can add to a song. The new video for ‘HHB’ brings together a striking mix of visual motifs, captured on empty London streets at night time, portraying elements of what Tiberius b would call ‘ordinary magic’ - a core theme of DIN.

Speaking on the track, Tiberius b says: ‘This is an homage to trans beauty, and the patience and humility that is required to navigate relationships with people that have been marred by environmental factors outside of our control.’

Unconsciously influenced by highlights from their parent’s CD collection, like Portishead, Underworld and Massive Attack, the six tracks on DIN expand on the musical motifs of their debut EP Stains, spanning grunge, trip-hop, folk and Brit pop. Born in London but raised in rural Canada, these songs are an aesthetic homecoming, heavily influenced by relocating to the British capital in 2017. Additional co-production on tracks across DIN comes from Yves Rothman (Yves Tumor, Sunflower Bean), Vampire Weekend’s Chris Baio and Andrew Sarlo (Big Thief, Skullcrusher, Nilüfer Yanya), the latter of whom also mixed the EP. DIN was mostly made with a guitar plugged into their dilapidated 2010 Macbook. At its core, the EP mirrors the din of Tiberius b’s life, it’s loud and DIY, with a surreal, experimental South London flair. Filtering these elements through a distinct pop sensibility, Tiberius b’s unique sound leaves an indelible impression. DIN represents the intricate nature of queer intimacy, reveling in its ability to inspire originative communication and deep existential thought.
