AVAWAVES Release Epic New Single ‘Voyager’

The phenomenal cinematic duo AVAWAVES, Anna Phoebe and Aisling Brouwer, release an evocative new version of album track ‘Voyager’ with a stunning new video on 19^thJune on One Little Independent. The duo have re-recorded ‘Voyager’ with a compelling fusion of lush cinematic strings and chords with hypnotic, electronic pulse. The track is a representation of freedom and connection in these times of lockdown when traveling is impossible and with it is a slick, minimal, monochrome video filmed in a ‘film noir’ style, that is interspersed with pulsating splashes of neon light, all beautifully directed by Rob Jarvis.

Anna Phoebe explains “For me, ‘Voyager’ stands out on the album as being slightly different in mood to the rest of the album. It’s a constantly shifting tapestry of sound created by the strings, piano and electronics. This track really developed as we played it live on tour last year. As we travelled around the UK, we started writing new parts for it and changing the structure. The new version reflects the evolution of our production sound since releasing the album. It was so much fun to team up with the incredible DOP Rob Jarvis to produce the video, which represents how we connect and our energy during live performance, it reminds us of being on tour, which we can’t wait to get back to!”

Anna and Aisling have come together to create a stunningly fresh sound that has captured the imagination of both their manager Nitin Sawhney and iconic label One Little Independent (home of Bjork, Poppy Ackroyd, Tusks). The duo combines a unique and potent blend of cinematic soundscapes, evocative and immersive electronic journeys of the heart and mind, at times urgent and bewitching. AVAWAVES is the coming together of two compelling performers.

The duo are now using the lockdown to expand their creativity, plan a new 2020 live tour and write their second album.
