Reprobate Media · Marva Von Theo - Dissolve

Their debut album “Dream within a Dream” was released in 2019 (Wave Records) and has been garnering very positive reviews worldwide ever since. MVT have performed in various venues and festivals, such as Linecheck Festival (IT) and Athens Music Week (GR) but also as the opening act for Hooverphonic (BE), Motorama (RU) & Molly Nillson (DE).

This spellbinding synth-duo has just unveiled their sophomore studio album Afterglow, through Wave Records. Love and loss, sorrow, hope, daydream, and the determination to live – all these subjects shimmer upon Marva Von Theo’s deep and poetic lyrics, which constitute the core of Afterglow. With this album, they contrive a danceable, electronic sound, shadowed elegantly by noir, moody, sonic palettes, an unconventional space that flows vigorously between Electronica, Art Pop, Dark pop, Neo-Synthpop, Darkwave, Post-Punk, Contemporary and Jazz.

“

"Afterglow encompasses the more melancholic hues of life, those bittersweet feelings when something significantly beautiful ends, the echo of a beloved voice, the remnants of light after the sun has set,” says the band.
