Watch: NIVEN - "Alleviate"

The track is soulful yet glitchy - it's got heart to it, and is a deviation from lots of avante-garde techno around nowadays that thrives on distance and a chilly touch. It's intimate, melodic and endearingly scatterbrained. There's ambient synths underneath NIVEN's bass-heavy undergrowth, but there's also Oliver Wilde-style guitars and chiming left hooks.

Directed/filmed/edited by Kieran Leahy, the video sees Niven perform the track live, straight from the front room.
