ABOUT THIS BAND

After a bit of a whirlwind four years following the act’s inception, TENDER had put out initially three EPs followed by two studio albums. A lot of music over a short space of time with a need to slow down and draw upon new influences. The pair had grown, with their musical chops being honed further. What started out as an experiment into the world of more electronic-based music, from their guitar roots, has become soundscapes awash with world music influences and diverse samples. The “TENDER sound” still remains. Its execution, evolved.

Amongst the chaos of the pandemic, both James & Dan started families and became restricted to creating music remotely, even across the Atlantic for a spell, while living in new, different cities. They set out to release new work with the ideas being formed for two EPs, naturally named ‘Side A’ and ‘Side B’

Long Time Coming is a song about being consumed. Someone is the centre of your universe for so long that when it ends and you snap out of it you don’t know what to do with yourself or lack a purpose. How do you re-enter the world as a lone figure? There’s no right or ideal way to repair your ability to trust or connect, but the song leads neatly into the theme of side B which is an overview of consuming and obsessive behaviour. Which may or possibly, probably, definitely is based on our experiences since the inception of TENDER. ‘Side B' is a stepping stone towards a third studio album currently being written, ahead of new live dates.
