Edinburgh-based duo PELOWSKA return with the release of powerful new single Deep Water, out now.

Known for their retro-synths, dark, brooding soundscapes and evocative lyricism, Deep Water is no exception. Channelling the likes of Portishead and Massive Attack, the duo combine trip-hop with powerful vocals and cutting edge visuals in order to create something undeniably formidable.

Talking about the single, vocalist and producer Aneshka Pelowska says, “Deep Water tells the story of the time I almost drowned in a lake in Croatia whilst on holiday with my family as a teenager. I was swimming across the lake when my body gave up completely, all my strength disappeared. I tried to scream for help but no one could hear me. I started to sink, fully convinced I was going to die. Then, out of nowhere, something surged through me; a force I can only describe as supernatural and I somehow managed to swim to safety. When renowned Croatian composer Marko Tomasovic reached out to collaborate on a song, that moment came rushing back. It felt like the perfect story to finally give voice to”. The music video for the song was brought to life by Simon Hay, the visionary director behind Callum Beattie’s Something in My Eye, showcasing a bold, confident new chapter for the band.
