In 2016 Irish duo All Tvvins released their debut album IIVV on Warner Music, an album filled with highly infectious, feel good tracks. IIVV was an experimental, vivid record and now All Tvvins are back for more. Just To Exist is the perfect follow on from the success of their debut, and is filled with non-stop synths and full of hooks. The record is out April 12th via Faction Records.
Consisting of indie veterans Conor Adams (The Cast Of Cheers) and Lar Kaye (Adebisi Shank), the Irish duo enlisted singer-songwriter James Vincent McMorrow on production duties, who effectively became the band’s third member in the recording process.
The opener Hell Of A Party was the first single to be released from the album. It is also the first glimpse of the evolution in All Tvvins’ sound, presenting lead singer Conor Adams’ most soulful vocals to date, and providing an infectious rhythm which will make listeners want to dance.
Next up is Build A Bridge, it opens with a beautiful, irresistible vocal which gives the track it’s own unique personality, before a bold, signature All Tvvins hook comes into play. The vocal loop upon Build A Bridge is too intriguing to ignore.
