Aqua Tofana are a dynamic four piece band based in South East England. While writing their debut, Aqua Tofana decided to eschew the traditional approach of EPs and instead introduce the world to their music through a full album where their post-genre approach flourishes.

The lead single Sleep demonstrates everything Aqua Tofana has to offer in a catchy package - complex and alluring compositions utilising strings alongside fulsome bass and thundering drums accompanied by flourishing vocals building melancholy tension that is released in a raw closer.

Lyrics:

The vacant mother the drunken father
A family tableaux viewed through curtains
No real passion or problems
Mundanities become seismic moments

A lingering reminder
Of what comes next
The past and future burning in my chest

Mistakes transform into forgotten moments
Wandering through what could have happened

(As the months move on and on
None of them alone remind me of you
But their cumulative weight begins to)

I’m crushed into sleep where your conjured
Your soft beauty and all your wonder
I spill my guts and you say you missed me
We catch up on our recent history

A moment to breathe
A moment to rest
Slowly but surely a loosening of the chest

Just as the scene slows
And life corresponds
Now the conductor lifts his baton

Morning comes and your gone
But I know your happy
And you know your happy

Unbridled tensions
Diseased seas
Handouts are never free

A cursed contract
A Devil's pact
Signed away with phony tact

Cleared hearts
Cleared minds
Misguided attempts to improve lives

A child's dream
An internal scream
He just wants to be seen
