IVATU - is a band from Moscow, was founded by multi-instrumentalist Anton, poetess Eava and producer Pavel in 2016 with debut EP «Revel» which has a taste of late Portishead, early Massive Attack and Cocteau twins aesthetics. Their music is noted for it’s trip-hop, darkwave and psychedelic influences. It’s melodic, hypnotic, mystical and cold with specific poetic lyrics and desperate and tender vocals.
IVATU uses rare vintage gear and likes to avoid modern digital sound and computers. As a result their sound is rich and potent which has a strong emotional impact.
