TENDERHOST MY HOUSE
Following their uncanny debut 'The Descent', London's Tenderhost shed another spooky cut in the form of 'My House'. Having previously touched on a growing sense of undoubtedly pandemic-induced agoraphobia, 'My House' delves deeper into this topic as the repeated lyric 'as long as I'm awake, I'm overwhelmed' strikes a troublingly relatable chord. Sonically dark and floaty (for the most part), singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gabriel Levy's hushed vocals have a taunting quality, evoking a sense of internal haunting rather than an outwardly projected lead vocal. Teasing at the band's impressive big-band potential, moments of bold instrumentation excite us to hear what's next from this complex, considered and contemplative new musical prospect. Listen to 'My House' here now. -Holly Mullineaux
