After years spent hitmaking for major artists, including US electronica outfit Passion Pit, Swedish songwriting and production duo Vola Tila released their acclaimed debut EP ‘Personality Apocalypse’ in 2019 in collaboration with Sonic Boom (MGMT, Beach House, Panda Bear) and Charlie Storm (Håkan Hellström). The cinematic, dreamy indie pop captivates into a bittersweet emotional explosion, combining longing melodies with touches of 60s and 70s influences, modern instrumentation and emotive wistful vocals. The duo infuses their sound with distinct Scandinavian DNA and an influence of genre crossovers and acts such as Tame Impala, Gorillaz, Jamie XX, David Bowie, The Beatles and The Smiths.

“Forget That I Love You”
Release Date: October 28, 2020
“Dark but not menacing, it’s an emotive glimpse into this duo’s creative soul- and all its wonderful potential.” – EARMILK
Swedish duo, Vola Tila, announce the release of the “Forget That I Love You” dream pop single on October 28. The cinematic saga shimmers in an ethereal haze of two people letting go of each other. It’s off the album, Soon, due out in early 2021.
“I Need My Girl” Single
Release Date: February 24, 2021
Imagine if The Beatles entered into a post-apocalyptic world where even their sunniest song had a sheen of grunge induced darkness. Here you would find rhythmic strumming, melodic nostalgia, and futuristic warning flares bubbling into brooding atmospheric waves. A slow rhythmic beat would persist in an abyss of haunting vocals that soar into the chorus with measured restraint. This is where you’d find Vola Tila’s “I Need My Girl” firmly planted in the present moment.
Soon
Release Date: March 19, 2021
While the world communes in dreams of a better future, Soon distills canopied constellations longing for present moments and everything they have to offer.
Vola Tila says, “We know that the present is the only thing we have. Despite this, the future has had a great impact on us, and we have many times been stuck in a desire for something else, looking for something that does not exist. We processed a lot of this when we wrote the album. But we both realized somewhere along the way that we could not find what we were looking for until we stopped looking.”
