VANIVES' dreamy debut hits the right note.

The band, a collaboration between childhood friends Stuart Ramage and Roan Ballantyne, from Castle Douglas in Dumfries and Galloway, recently released lead single Positive via Vielen Dank Records.

The track, recorded at home and self-produced by VanIves, packs an emotional punch as its gentle melody mesmerises.

The duo's songs – written in an innovative manner – originated when Stuart began producing tracks by sampling Ramage family VHS tapes. Emotively drawing inspiration from memories captured in these tapes, Roan and Stuart have cultivated an exciting blend of chilled guitar riffs and banging, bass-heavy dance music.
