Tom, better known by his stage name ARVØW, has just released a six-track EP titled Remnants. It dropped on Friday, April 11, via Spanish record label Be Your Own Studio.
Tom began producing music at 16 after seeing Juice WRLD perform in London. Back then, he was making beats but slowly transitioned into electronic music over the years. Now, he finds himself learning instruments to better incorporate them into his electronic sound.
The Remnants EP was crafted in Norway and Sweden during the winter. “There was about four hours of sunlight a day, so I would get myself out walking and exploring the mountains, forests, and lakes,” Tom says.
Surrounded by beautiful Scandinavian nature, the artist drew deep inspiration. “Make it back just before dark and then spend the whole evening producing. Some evenings, the northern lights would appear and leave me in complete awe. It was a truly special creative process,” he shares.
“At First Sight” opens the EP with a cinematic backdrop, transcendent energy, progressive bassline, and haunting choral elements. “Days Pass” follows with cold pads, bird sounds, and a filtered breakbeat that builds into a harmonic journey.
“18 Hours” leans into delayed arpeggios, piano chords, deep drums, and vocal effects during the breakdown. “Aurora” takes us deep into nature, pleasing with uplifting piano and deep, resonant chords beneath a steady bassline.
On remix duty, Cotton Mouth offers his trippy take on “Days Pass,” layering in scratch effects and shuffling hi-hats.
Closing out the EP, Swedish producer Evigt Mörker reworks “At First Sight” with noise-laden drums, a pulsating sequencer, and textures pulled from the original track.
In conclusion, we just want to say—music doesn’t always have to hit hard, and with Remnants, ARVØW proves exactly that. As we enjoy this release, we’re looking forward to hearing what’s next from the artist.
“I have a couple of remixes for some cool artists coming soon, notably Idriss Reina. I’m working on some new music with Gleezy again. I’ve been writing some guitar stuff and a load of ambient stuff,” he shares.
