Norwegian artist Tuvaband is back with a powerful new single, “Galloping Chest,” and it’s nothing short of stunning. This track gives us a strong reminder of why Tuva Hellum Marschhäuser stands out as one of the most unique voices in indie music today. With full creative control over her work, Tuva has crafted something truly personal and striking.
From the very first beat, “Galloping Chest” grabs your attention. The rhythm feels like a fast, nervous heartbeat, pushing the song forward with urgency and emotion. Tuva’s voice floats above the music—sometimes soft and fragile, sometimes strong and direct. Her words, “Please don’t wake me up if I am dreaming / My heart beats so loud as if it was screaming,” are haunting and unforgettable. They hit deep, especially for anyone who’s ever felt ignored, invisible, or underestimated.
What really makes this song special is how it feels both handmade and futuristic. There’s a mix of programmed and organic sounds, echoing the tension between holding it together on the outside and falling apart inside. It’s clear that every sound in the track has a purpose and serves her vision—there’s no noise for the sake of it.
Tuva’s take on folk music is unlike anything else out there. She avoids the clichés and instead builds something that feels raw, emotional, and completely her own. “Galloping Chest” isn’t just a song—it’s a release, a statement, and maybe even a quiet anthem for those who feel unseen.
If this is the direction her upcoming fifth album “Seven Ways of Floating” is taking, then we’re in for something truly special. Tuvaband has once again proven she’s not just making music—she’s making art that demands to be heard.
