    Ava in the Dark’s debut EP “Delete Us Forever”. Comes in a protective card sleeve.

    A mix of soundscapes from indie dream-pop, to minimal house, electropop to alt-rock. ‘Delete Us Forever’, Ava in the Dark’s debut EP is a glimpse into the soul of lead-singer, Kiera. It’s about mental health in adolescence, people-pleasing, social pressures and self-love, presented in a nostalgic era-bound frame, sometimes ironically.

    Inspired by the music of her childhood, aka Wolf Alice, Nothing But Thieves, London Grammar and Lana Del Ray, the EP mixes current influences such as Pale Waves, Billie Eilish, The 1975, Melanie Martinez and The Weeknd to create a retrospective, yet current juxtaposition of sound.

    Championed by BBC Radio 6, BBC Introducing West Yorkshire, BBC Radio Wales, Amazing Radio and XS Manchester.

    “Such a slick sound on this, if you like Pale Waves, you’ll like this!”
    -Emily Pilbeam BBC Introducing.

    “Haunting, breathtaking and beautiful... ...Kiera’s vocals are outstanding."
    - Alan Raw BBC Introducing.

    “There’s something deliciously old school about this”
    - Adam Walton BBC Radio Wales.

    “It's just so good, I love it, absolutely love that, really catchy”
    -Charlie Ashcroft Amazing Radio.

    “From Yorkshire actually, kinda Leeds connections going on. 'Delete Us Forever'? Sounds harsh!”
    -Shell Zenner.

about

Delete Us Forever, a nostalgic, synthy indie-pop track with a driving beat, audacious guitar solos and melancholic vocals reminiscent of the 80s Pop ballad.

Already gaining three radio plays before its release, the track was part of a lockdown project by 2x Grammy Award-winning mix engineer Eduardo De La Paz that will be printed to vinyl along with a few other bands across the UK, profits split between the bands to make up for lost gigs.

“Such a slick sound on this, if you like Pale Waves, you’ll like this!”
“Really loving this from Ava in the Dark” (2nd spin)
-Emily Pilbeam BBC Introducing

“There’s something deliciously old school about this”
“Manages the not easy task of taking influences from the 80s and things like Vaporwave but weaving them into something now and essential and VERY very good indeed”
-Adam Walton BBC Radio Wales

lyrics

Smoke covered your eyes
You were afraid of your mind
The way you were with me
Was a different kind, it was a simple time

She’s the psycho on your bed
Screams louder than death
You didn’t look at me like they do
We felt the same though
I think I like you

Do you feel alive
Dance with me
You’ll be alright

You said if you ever break my heart
I’d just sit there and cry in your arms
And I never thought that it would end like this
I remember our last kiss

Delete you Forever
Delete Me Forever
Delete Us Forever
Delete us Forever

They all think we’re crazy I don’t know
Green American honey in your eyes
You’re mine
I know its all in my head
It makes perfect sense
This is all we know
Lets drive, you’re my ride or die

Do you feel alive
Dance with me
You’ll be alright

You said if you ever break my heart
I’d just sit there and cry in your arms
And I never thought that it would end like this
I remember our last kiss

Delete You Forever
Delete Me Forever
Delete Us Forever
Delete Us Forever

I like to stay home and be left alone
I hate to think about it sometimes
I’m over it

You said if you ever break my heart
I’d just sit there and cry in your arms
And I never thought that it would end like this
I remember our last kiss

Delete You Forever
Delete Me Forever
Delete Us Forever
Delete Us Forever
