Biography
Hiva Oa is a three piece alternative band based in Edinburgh.
Formed in 2010, they consist of Stephen (guitar/vocals), Christian (cello) and Marco (bass). They produce music with a fragile sense of melancholy, buried under a brooding darkness. Guitars, bass, cello, the odd piano and haunting vocals combine to create something unique and intensely evocative. Blending acoustic sounds with more experimental moments that are distinct and immediately compelling. The beauty of Hiva Oa lies in the understated.
Debut album ‘The Awkward Hello, Handshake, Kiss' follows on from EP ‘Future Nostalgia for sale’.
