AP Track Review
The Wanderer by Norwegian born artist TUVA FINSERÅS from the onset feels like a chamber pop song that you would of existed on 1960's variety television show with flowery power hippie-esque background singers in go-go boots. There is western sway, a gallop to the cadence and an almost vast spaghetti western vibe enhanced by twanging guitar and offset by Tuva's angelic vocal presentation. Midway, organs swell and a wicked synth arpeggio happens and the song with such sweeping melodies suddenly feels like it jumps decades forward. It is now whimsical, like a Giorgio Moroder produced track but still those western (surf) guitars persist. In the end, it doesn't matter what the song is but where it takes us in our minds and The Wanderer does take us to magical places.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES
TUVA FINSERÅS is a Norwegian-born artist whose music is too original to pigeon-hole into a tidy genre. Straying between alternative folk and pop, her previous single 'I Could Be Your Angel’ featured on Triple J Unearthed and received plays across several radio shows on Triple R. Her debut EP was released in June 2018, produced by Benjamin McCarthy. (Alex The Astronaut, G Flip, Gordi, nyck), who was instantly captivated after seeing her show in early 2017.
Tuva recently relocated back to her homeland of Scandinavia, having been based in Australia for the last 5 years. Creating a never-ending and bewildering range of music, every note composed and arranged by her, all with her slightly off-kilter, intriguingly odd Scandinavian sensibility - a complete, 360-degree musician.
She likes to write songs in B minor, and often animals appear in them.
Born in 1994, she experimented with violin early on, playing at the yearly festival of Norwegian folk music, before moving to piano at the age of 9, eventually majoring in music and classical piano. A passion for songwriting started in her early teen-years, straight away falling in love with the ceaseless sounds in her head.
