Cozy Into kav's Powerful Debut Singe “Dissolve"
Meet UK’s indie-folk artist, kav. Over the last few years, kav has polished his skills in writing and performing with other artists. West London born Pierce Kavanagh is now stepping out on his own, sharing his intimate and compelling songs as ‘kav’.
His debut single, Dissolve, nods its head to the captivating and alternative sounds of bands such as The National and Frightened Rabbit with kav’s rich vocals sitting at the centre of it all. kav notes that “the core of ‘dissolve’ is about processing feelings of shame and the frustrations that come in underachieving.” This track is filled with unflinchingly honest lyrics and a back drop of expansive indie-folk production, a perfect song for this up-and-coming artist.
Fans of cult band We Are Augustines will be excited to learn the track was also mixed by band member Eric Sanderson, one of this London artist’s biggest inspirations. Talking about the experience, kav notes “It was pretty cool to work with one of my musical heroes and Eric definitely helped to bring the track to life.”
So go ahead and stream Dissolve now to hear the artist’s savory, rich tones.
