Iceboy Violet’s new single ‘VANITY’ is available to listen to now and hits what more is to come with its dreamy sound.

2 B REAL say: “This mixtape sees Iceboy consolidating their sound into something deep, brooding and broad, building their own sound palette across a heap of tracks that feel both of the moment and out of time — like so much of Manchester's cutting edge at the moment.”
