ST IVES RETURN FROM SIX-YEAR HIATUS WITH HAUNTING NEW SINGLE "TRIED YOU ON" Revered Melbourne trip-hop duo emerge from the shadows with their most compelling work yet. St Ives—a collaboration between Perth vocalist Anna O'Neil (Anna O) and Melbourne producer Ariel Blum (BLUM)—was born from a shared reverence for the deep bass, mid-90s UK sounds that defined an era. What began as a creative sanctuary during times of personal crossroads has evolved into something far more profound: a vehicle for catharsis, experimentation, and unflinching honesty. With both Blum and O'Neil having weathered great personal storms since the project's inception, "Tried You On" arrives as their most personal and revealing statement yet. It's a testament to the enduring power of trip-hop, and proof that St Ives' particular brand of shadow-soaked electronics has lost none of its potency. Six years may have passed, but St Ives return sounding more vital than ever.
