ABOUT THIS BAND

This isn’t actually a band, but a Norwegian solo artist who graces dark canvasses between alternative and indie rock with fluorescent shoegaze sketches. Tuva Hellum Marschhäuser has a vision and is clearly not afraid to use it when writing and producing her own music.

Tuvaband’s debut album Soft Drop saw her write songs that were airy, ghostly and effortlessly cinematic. The follow-up I Entered the Void (which earned a nomination for a Norwegian Grammy) pushed her sound into rougher, heavier atmospheric rock. Recorded with musicians Tobias Pfeil, Håkon Brunborg Kjenstad, and Ole Mofjell.

Tuva’s third album Growing Pains & Pleasures was painstakingly spearheaded by Tuva from inception to completion determined to capture the musical vision in her imagination. Crafted in her then new studio, the songs and soundscapes were forged over many months working alone, recording and programming the instrumentation herself before enlisting fellow Oslo musicians Kenneth Ishak, Eskild and Håkon Brunborg Kjenstad to add depth and realism to some of the sketched lines. The song “Irreversible” was remixed by beloved dub icon Lee "Scratch" Perry.

Tuvaband’s latest album, New Orders, will be out January 2023. Tuva wrote, performed, recorded, produced, and mixed the material including playing all the instruments with the exception of a trombone and authentic drums supplementing the preprogrammed drums and percussion.
