Ahead of the release of their sixth album, TOO, HVOB have shared their new single, “A Piece Of Me” today. The new track starts with sparse piano chords and vocals over the backdrop of glitching synths which build to a dramatic cinematic soundscape when drums are introduced to build a feeling of urgency.
TOO is an angry, tender, vulnerable, determined account of a generation’s search for life. The album explores extremes in concept, content and sound and will unfold over the course of six months. TOO is both HVOB’s harshest and softest album to date. In terms of sound, Anna Müller and Paul Wallner explore a space of extremes between departure and retreat, between determination and self-doubt. The album is dedicated to the state of mind of a generation in search of inner and outer belonging: the album captures a life in the dichotomy of one’s own and other people’s expectations, in the feeling of not living up to these expectations, in renewed attempts to free oneself from these expectations.
