Rob Tirea releases new four-track ‘Universal Jest’ EP

Los Angeles-based producer and songwriter Rob Tirea has released Universal Jest, a four-track EP that marks his most personal and ambitious work to date. The tunes collide alternative dance, rock and indie pop while exploring themes of love, loss and the contradictions of the human experience.

Described by Tirea as “a punch to the gut, wrapped in a smile,” the EP captures a wide emotional spectrum through immersive production and candid songwriting. Each track stands as a chapter in a broader narrative, with songs like ‘Give Me Love Give Me Light’ and ‘There You Are’ reflecting on connection and existential wonder, while ‘She Wants A Nobody’ and ‘How Do I Love You Anymore’ delve into relational complexity and heartbreak.

The release will be accompanied by a full-length live performance video filmed in Downtown Los Angeles in partnership with Fine Line Music Service. The intimate session features Tirea on vocals, supported by violinist Nicole Garcia and cellist Michelle Rearick, renowned string players whose credits include work with Lady Gaga, Elton John, Vampire Weekend and major film scores. The visual was directed by Jackie Catechis, known for her work with Coachella, CRSSD and Skyline Festival.

Tirea’s recent singles have been featured on Apple Music and SoundCloud playlists, with coverage from outlets including Mixmag, EARMILK, FAULT, and 1001 Tracklists. His work has earned over 16 million streams to date and includes collaborations with GRAMMY-nominated producers Andrew Bayer and Lipless.
