Originating from Italy and Pennsylvania, TWAN & ICEBERG unite in the music mecca of London to combine their talents in this first multi-continental collaboration. Their work comes in the form of a single entitled - Noise. A fusion of indie electronica and electro-pop, that will immerse any listener into a sophisticated sound world. Releasing 27th August 2021, ‘Noise’ delivers a broodingly empowering sonic energy — one that speaks of internal clarity, love and peace.

Soft water droplets and vinyl crackles set the mood for ICEBERG’s intimate lyrics. From the first line, her heart-on-sleeve tone and vocal production sound as though she’s in the room. Intricate piano melodies, rhythmic vocal chops and intensifying synths breathe tension and release throughout.

TWAN’s production instincts and seductive drum groove forge a powerful and visceral backbone: a 6/8 pulse makes the groove unexpectedly satisfying. Strings flood in at every peak, lifting the piece to a euphoria, while mesmerising synths and organic textures complete the soundscape. Overall, ‘Noise' feels masterfully heartfelt, wildly refreshing, and deeply sincere.

“It’s about seeing what really matters. In life there are few constants. We change homes, cities, friends, lives, even character, sometimes. ‘Noise’ is about that undeniable focal point that love creates despite the chaos around us. It’s our truth, the point of our lives. It’s raw and unfiltered.” — ARTISTS

TWAN (real name Antonio Marra) is an Italian musician, composer and record producer; ICEBERG (real name Charlotte Berg) is a Connecticut-born artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer. The creative collaborators first met in 2019 whilst working at the same recording studio. Against the backdrop of London’s music Mecca, the inspired pair fused their differing backgrounds and holed up in TWAN’s flat to write the song. Using a Yamaha keyboard, a Moog Sub37, a Fender guitar, and Ableton, they carved out a stunning new sound. Intimate and unruffled, ‘Noise’ is an alternative electro-pop hit that will immerse any listener into a sophisticated sound world of peace and bliss.

TWAN & ICEBERG - Noise

Italian electronic producer TWAN (Antonia Marra) and British alternative-pop artist, Pelicandy @pelicandyband (Tom Beecham) release their collaborative effort, Something Stronger - a euphoric pick-me- up to make you move. Combining TWAN’s head-turning sound design with Pelicandy’s eccentric vocals, the song is packed with futuristic sounds and feel-good energy. A retro bouncing bass line complements modern pulsing synths that surge rhythmically from exhilarating crescendo to stimulating drop - an energetic ride for those looking to break a sweat. 

Something Stronger is an anthem for pursuing what you want and explores the driving forces behind human nature - hedonism, love and ambition. Whether out-running your demons or striving towards your goals, the underlying message is one of taking control. Marra and Beecham say: 

“We wanted to focus on the insatiable appetite that people so commonly have for what’s around the corner - whether it’s the need to better ourselves, or to create more for ourselves. It’s a feeling we relate to and part of what makes everyone human - what makes humans so unstoppable.”

Accompanying the single are striking artwork and visuals from graphic artist Leif Podhajsky - most recognised for his work with the likes of Bonobo, Tame Impala, Lykke Li, London Grammar and many others. Something Stronger is available to stream and purchase from Friday, September 9th, 2022 on Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Pandora, Resso and Deezer.
