Dearest Latest

****-

A kind of sideways pop music that blends ambient-pop, blurry trip hop and art-rock experimentalism.

Since 2020, Nipaluna/Hobart-based duo Troth comprises producer and beatmaker Cooper Bowman alongside vocalist and visual artist Amelia Bessenyei, forging a sound that seamlessly bridges ambient synthscapes, DIY post-punk, low-fi synth-pop, and pastoral minimalism.


Bowman establishes the rich, tape-loop saturated foundation of their sound, developing delicate rhythms amid atmospheric synthesizer textures. Bessenyei adds ethereal vocal melodies and spoken word, creating atmospheres that suggest intimate, haunting folklore, mirroring the island's coastal solitude, dark history and natural landscapes.


The Limits Of A Light Touch, Troth's first release on their own label, follows a string of albums, released on various international underground labels in UK, Sweden, Netherlands, US and Australia. They describe the music as "a kind of sideways pop music (that) ...is communicated through a refined musical language that blends ambient-pop, blurry trip hop and art-rock experimentalism."
