Tasmin Stephens is TTSSFU. Pronounced phonetically, TTSSFU takes the vague template of a fuzzed-up dream-pop sound. It’s a dark and unsettling veil of pent-up anxiety spilt over oscillating beats, heavy guitars, and to somewhere approaching a fever-dream.

And whilst TTSSFU’s music harnesses all those words that typically describe shoegaze; ethereal, atmospheric, layered, and immersive instrumentation soaked in reverb, Tasmin comes at it all with a scythe. And latest single “Forever” was co-produced by Chris Ryan (Just Mustard, Cardinals, New Dad) and launched alongside a video produced by Seth Lloyd.

“Forever” is a soaring ode to friendship—TTSSFU’s closest step yet toward a pop song, though still filtered through her signature shoegaze lens. The sun-soaked late summer anthem fondly reminisces on a lifelong friendship over radiant guitar riffs and Tasmin’s celestial vocals. Synths blur into Tasmin’s voice, veiling the track in glimmering nostalgia and alluring mystery. She chants the track’s title throughout the chorus, a hymn to a never-ending closeness and understanding that, in Tasmin’s words, “never felt so good.”

TTSSFU on “Forever” says:

“Forever is probably the happiest song I’ve written, maybe the only happy song I’ve written, and that’s because it’s about one of my best friends in the world… It’s about all the memories we have together and everything we’ve gone through. From the moment we met, we have brought so much joy and laughter into each other’s life. I was attempting to write a pop song and when trying to think of things that made me happy, my mind went straight to her.”

In a little over a year performing as TTSSFU, Tasmin has played sold out headline dates across the UK, with support slots alongside Kim Deal, English Teacher, Mannequin Pussy, and Soccer Mommy.

Having gone into the EP intending to, “write some pop songs and something happy”, what came out was altogether more realistic of her songwriting approach. It’s a real-time document of Tasmin’s life in all its messy contradictions, pieced together by her diverse musicality and a souped-up sonic palette.

As TTSSFU, Tasmin Stephens isn’t content to simply exist in a vague pool of dream-pop inspired newcomers, nor happy to operate quietly in the shadows. Tasmin demands attention, and will be quick to receive it. Her aesthetic, hyper-specific and often unsettling, is imbued with an innate love of analogue horror and the intoxicating glitch and noise of early internet yore. A whirlpool of chaotic energy.
