Following their conceptual album Reality Management Ltd. released in 2023, Tuys are embracing a more spontaneous and freeing creative process with ◑◐◐.
Tuys are back with a brand-new EP, titled ◑◐◐, set for release on 28 February. Known for their exhilarating live performances, infectious pop hooks, and a cinematic approach to storytelling, the Luxembourg-born, Berlin-based band are taking a new direction with this release. This time, they say, they're letting intuition lead the way.
The EP's title, derived from the symbols in their stage lighting, hints at a shift toward a more instinctive and immediate musical identity. It's a release that aims to capture the raw energy of their artistry while staying true to their signature blend of driving art rock and emotive psych pop. Lead single Starchase was on Today Radio's Sam Steen's list of Top Ten tracks from 2024 while follow up Upside Down has a been a regular on the stations playlist since its release.
For a group that started as a childhood dream among three primary school friends, Tuys have come a long way. Over the years, they’ve evolved into a major player in the Luxembourg music scene, sharing stages with legendary acts like Arctic Monkeys, The 1975, Imagine Dragons, and Interpol. Their music has gained recognition on major playlists, and they’ve left their mark on festival stages across Europe, from ESNS23 to The Great Escape and Reeperbahn Festival.
Sam Tritz from the band joined Stephen Lowe recently to discuss the bands longevity, those big stage experiences and the band's new direction.
Coinciding with the release of ◑◐◐, Tuys are also celebrating their 18th anniversary and to mark the occasion, they’re throwing a headline show and party at Luxembourg’s Rotondes on May 2nd. With special guests including C’est Karma, Maz, and local newcomers Falvous, it promises to be an unforgettable night of music, energy, and well-earned celebration.
As they gear up for their Rotondes headline show, Tuys have already been confirmed for USINA Festival 2025, where they’ll perform alongside dEUS and Fil Bo Riva. But that’s just the beginning—more festival appearances and international tour dates are on the horizon.
With ◑◐◐ Tuys are proving once again that they are a band in constant evolution, unafraid to explore new creative territories while staying true to their infectious, high-energy sound. Whether you’ve been following them for years or are just tuning in, this EP is bound to make waves.
