Delete Us Forever EP (CD)
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
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.

about
Still’, the band’s oldest song, written when Kiera lived in North Wales, has evolved over time into a beat-driven Pop track with a Minimal-House edge. The track is made of repeating piano chord patterns that echo the song's meaning, both stationary and unchanging. Despite its minimalism, ‘Still’ builds and builds, leaving the listener suspended in a more-ish raindrop pianoscape.
lyrics
Too high, but I wanna come down
Two hearts felt too much and drowned
Put your black dress on light cigarette
Now come to think of it,
Does it hurt you still?
The scent of your lies,
Falling like flies
No one to save you,
No one to save you, now, no
I’ll keep living the truth
I’ll still be loving you
Does it hurt somebody else?
Does it hurt to know?
How could I tempt you out of here?
I can’t figure you out
I can make it better
I can touch you better
I can love you better she can
Does it hurt you still?
Too high, but I wanna come down
Two hearts felt too much and drowned
Put your black dress light cigarette
Now come to think of it,
Does it hurt you still?
I’ll keep living the truth
I’ll still be loving you
The scent of your lies,
Falling like flies
No one to save you,
No one to save you, now, no
I’ll keep living the truth
I’ll still be loving you
Does it hurt you still?
Does it hurt you?
