We only featured Vau a couple of months ago, but we can already safely call ourselves fans of this rising newcomer.
The Swedish singer and songwriter is back today with a gorgeous song called ‘Cocoon Time’, and it’s really quite something. The production blends bedroom pop with fuzzy indie, resulting in a hazy and subdued style of sound. And yet despite its minimalism, this track still feels sonically joyful and energising.
But don’t be fooled – the lyrics are actually pretty intense. The artist explains:
“A song with an uplifting production and feeling, but rather dark lyrics: about self loathing and the need to merge into the depths of your sofa to hide from the world for a while. But also: to – in due time – emerge from those depths and take a leap into a new chapter of life again. A song for all us sensitive souls out there.”
Vau has also released an album of the same name today, which you can enjoy here.
