 AVAWAVES, the international, contemporary virtuoso duo comprising Anna Phoebe and Aisling Brouwer, release their third studio album, ‘Heartbeat’, via One Little Independent Records.
 A transportive and euphoric meeting of violin, piano and synth, the album embraces a fusion of modern composition, ambient and electronic styles while incorporating the pair’s acclaimed soundtrack work.
 Thematically, ‘Heartbeat’ represents strength, resolve and moving forward.
 ‘Heartbeat’ was produced and mixed with TJ Allen (Bat For Lashes, Portishead, Hannah Peel, Anna Calvi) and features vocals from Imogen Williams of Imogen and the Knife.
 This release marks a significant musical evolution for the duo, incorporating their soundtrack experience and returning to the collaborative process that shaped their debut record.
 AVAWAVES’ creative approach is grounded in live performance, crafting compositions by immersing themselves in the emotions of the space - a process challenged by lockdowns and physical distance.
 Drawing inspiration from visual elements, the duo create soundscapes that evoke colours, scenes and stories, akin to scores for an imaginary film.
 Anna and Aisling believe instrumental music provides a universal language that invites listeners to engage fully, embracing vulnerability and heightened individual emotions. For them, this openness to interpretation is where true meaning lies.

 Available to independent retailers on Olive Green coloured vinyl.
