Tvam - Ruins - VINYL LP

Tvam returns with news of his new album, Ruins, which is due to be released on 'Crystal Clear' vinyl on 27 February via Invada Records. The follow-up to High Art Lite, Ruins is an album shaped by grief, reflection, and transformation; a record that captures both the weight of loss and the strange beauty that comes with it.

Guitars weave through the mix with a newfound restraint, creating space for atmosphere and
