Norwegian multi-disciplinary artist Vilde Tuv has returned with “Start/Stop,” the final single ahead of her third album, Truthbomb, out September 19th, 2025 via Poesy Records.

“Start/Stop” is an “exploration of tension, impulse, and surrender.” The track is built on minimalist electronics and experimental noise. It’s accompanied by a video directed by Maria Hilde, which “follows Tuv on a surreal journey caught between moving forward and the inertia of ordinary life.”

On the track Tuv explains:

“Start/Stop’” is about trying to control your life force by attempting to stop it. But the more you resist, the stronger it grows, until you realize the only way forward is surrender, and to let your heart burn up completely.

Upcoming album Truthbomb is the follow-up to the award-winning album, Melting Songs (2021). While Melting Songs was an instrumental album “characterized by drones, flutes, and fluid chords,” Truthbomb is “rhythmic and physical.”

Earlier this summer, Tuv unveiled a new chapter in her sonic journey, singing in English for the first time, on the singles “Morning Wind” and “Solace in the Sun.” She also released a remix CD of “Solace in the Sun,” featuring Merely (Year0001) and DJ IBON (Bunkerbauer).
