Sun, Moon, Stars

02 Matisse [MASTER]

After releasing their critically acclaimed debut album CHIVVY have now become a duo and finished a new EP. The second single 'Reign', invites you to a preview of their upcoming EP's new sound. 'Reign' is the song about fantasy and reality and about taking control of your life or letting yourself fall. The music, which was recorded with and co-produced by Daniel 'Fagge' Fagerström (Viagra Boys, Jenny Wilson, Nina Kinert etc), is still as grand and dreamy as before.

CHIVVY creates a large and evocative soundscape with atmospheric guitars, synths and dreamy vocals. The music is often compared to bands such as Warpaint, Beach House, and Cocteau Twins. Last year they released their debut album which was praised by both Swedish and international press and received, among other things, 5 stars by GAFFA and was classified as one of Sweden's best albums of 2021 by HYMN. In 2022, CHIVVY was nominated for the GAFFA prize and the Manifest Awards.

Like They All Did

The Chills

Believe In Yourself

Hard to feel unlike a burden
Harder still to feel deserving of attention
Of affection
When I've spent close to eternity and then some
Being taught a constant lesson
Of my detriment to every strand of fate

Battered will so close to breaking
Fragile mind up for the taking
Walking tightrope on the edge is where our threads first intertwine
Amethyst among the masses
Struck against monochromatic manic me

Walking nightmare in a daydream
Praying no one wakes me
Walking nightmare in a daydream
Hoping that you'll save me

I don't know
What kind of sorcery you've got on me but
Every time you walk into the room
Everything that's withered starts to bloom


Utterly unphased
By the patchwork way I'm made
Past the visage you can see the me I almost lost completely
To the vitriol in spades
And you're gazing with a weight
I am terrified is horribly misplaced

On a nightmare in a daydream
Waiting for the rug to pull from under
Nightmare in a daydream
Unbelieving that you saved me

I don't know
What kind of sorcery you've got on me but
Every time you walks into the room
Everything that's withered starts to bloom

And I don't know
If I can offer what you see in me
But I'll bend heavens, earth, the sun and moon
Trying to do the same for you
Tethering our hearts to start anew
Take what's withered, and make it bloom
