TENDER
Since forming in 2015, TENDER have become masters of balancing bedroom pop intimacy with festival-sized ambition, with their superbly composed alt-pop songs gaining fans in NPR, Stereogum and beyond as well as hundreds of millions of streams. A steady progression and refinement of their sound followed on their debut album Modern Addiction (2017) and follow-up Fear of Falling Asleep (2019).The duo specialised in walking that artful line between personal and the universal. The British duo’s acclaimed debut, Modern Addiction, charted the aftermath of a tumultuous breakup, earning rave reviews in the UK and US for its soul-baring candour, with Stereogum calling it “vibrant and entrancing”, while the Metro newspaper hailed it as “stunning”.Their debut album lead single ‘Nadir’ was an early career highlight and featured in the soundtrack of the Netflix smash To All The Boys I’ve Ever Loved. The LP followed a series of similarly celebrated singles and EPs that saw them rocket from an unassuming bedroom project to an online sensation seemingly overnight success. Overall, the band have now amassed over 500 million streams across the DSP platforms, as well as boasting nearly 300K YouTube subscribers.With new singles and an upcoming new album planned this year, 2024 is shaping up to be a big year for this captivating duo.
