Indie Pop from Third Way

Based in London, Third Way is a duo formed by musicians Xander Edwards from Yorkshire and Paul Vilas from Brazil. Together they draw on their diverse backgrounds and influences to create their own original sound of soulful alternative pop music.

Making their introduction in 2020, they released their debut single “Tides”, shortly followed by sophomore track “Guru”. This year they returned with the single “Notice” ahead of their brand new debut EP titled Priestess.

Lifted from the three-track EP, they bring us the opening and title track with “Priestess”, a song formed organically in the moment during an improvised session. After an hour of playing around with different ideas, the chords, vocals and lyrics flowed freely in a poignant moment of creativity to form a song that explores the experience of a lack of direction contrasted by a sense of faith in the face of it.

Crafting a delicate indie pop sound, with “Priestess” Third Way deliver a brooding style full of intricate instrumental textures, a gentle beat and smooth vocal leads carrying alluring melodic writing that all build towards an impactful crescendo on a stunning new song from a talented duo.
