PELOWSKA

“...a retro synth groove with soaring vocals…” - The Scotsman

“Catchy, thrilling and driving.” - Discovery Music Scotland

“Truly a masterpiece.” - BBC Introducing Scotland

“…swells with vulnerability and strength.” - Loud Women

Edinburgh-based duo PELOWSKA continue to push boundaries with the release of new single Calton Hill, out 13th November 2025. This is the fourth release to be taken from their debut EP end / start, due for release on 4th December 2025.

Once again combining elements of trip-hop and dubstep with brooding soundscapes and evocative lyricism, PELOWSKA continue to prove themselves as a formidable force to be reckoned with. Calton Hill captures the moment everything changed for vocalist and producer Aneshka Pelowska. “When I walked away from the illusion of safety and chose myself instead,” she elaborates. “Set against Edinburgh’s skyline, it rises from the volcanic heart of Scotland's capital and the ashes of personal crisis. It's about standing on the edge of your old life and choosing a new path, knowing there’s no way back. It’s a farewell to deceit and deliberate manipulation, and an embrace of the raw, terrifying yet unapologetic beauty that comes with letting go of what no longer serves us”.

Aneshka (vocals/synths) and Dave Tynan (bass/guitar) had admired each other's separate musical journeys in other bands for years. When Aneshka moved from Poland, she immersed herself in open-mic nights and sang for a variety of local bands. When an unfortunate accident with a glass of wine destroyed a laptop with several months’ worth of compositions on it, she turned to fellow musician Dave to help her get back on track. Now, the duo write songs that speak about mental health, with resilience running through everything they do. Aneshka is also part of the 3.5% of female music producers in a male-dominated space, and an immigrant who started a band with no school friends, no scene connections, nothing handed over, just the music and a drive to create something real.

The duo have previously received praise from the likes of The Scotsman, The Herald, God Is in The TV, BBC Introducing Scotland and Amazing Radio's Jim Gellatly to name a few, with their previous single Fire being Amazing Radio and Valley 89.5 in Australia's top trending track recently. Despite boasting only a handful of songs, the duo has amassed over 100,000 streams on Spotify and garnered tens of thousands of views on YouTube for their music videos.
