TREASVRE Releases New Single In My Arms

By Phil Hawkins

Earlier this year TREASVRE released their debut EP Stick the Knife In and it was one of the best things I have heard this year (even 6 months after it was released, read my review here). Staying hot on the tracks of Stick the Knife In TREASVRE has released their latest single, “In My Arms.”

“In My Arms” plays very strongly to the same aesthetic that makes Stick the Knife In such a strong EP. However, it manages to build upon this aesthetic and continues to atmospherically build multiple layers on the track. From the first note nothing is held back as the track opens instantly with a rhythmic bass riff accompanied by a driving drum beat with a melodic overtone from the guitar. The drums and bass are very much the backbone of the track, but do take a backseat as needed to allow the other elements of the track to shine through. Perhaps the most intriguing being the keys around the 3:18 mark that are beautifully intrinsic (albeit faint) that creates an airy flow. It is to be noted that the keys play very much to the same melodic tone that is heard from the guitars early in the track and between the two they create a contrast that is simply intoxicating.

Vocally, there is a strong Stevie Nicks vibe which cohesively ties the track together with all of it’s elements. With the instrumentation setting a lush and solid back drop that allows the vocals to really shine through. They are haunting, yet light and earthy with a strong ethereal feel to them. Samantha Peña’s vocal prowess and delivery will suck you in and leave longing for more.

It’s so exciting to see a band releasing more new material so soon after their debut release, but TREASVRE is a band that everyone should be keeping an eye on as they have the personal drive, worth ethic and potential to really carve out a name for themselves in the scene. If you’re native to the San Francisco area then you should be well aware of who TREASVRE is. If you’re not, just give it time as they are sure to become a much bigger name soon enough.

“In My Arms” is available now via all major streaming platforms or on the band’s Bandcamp.
