The upcoming record follows TENDER’s 2023 album Flux, with “Heavy” offering the first preview of a new chapter for the band.
Speaking about the new single, TENDER explain: “[It’s about] having a crisis of identity when you’re in the prime of your life. 1st world problems. Wanting everyone to feel sorry for you when you have everything you need to be happy but refuse to be.”
Where The Waves Break was both written and self-produced by the duo, formed by James Cullen and Dan Cobb, and sees them explore their perspectives on fatherhood and ageing.
Discussing the dynamics of the album, which aims to capture the highs and lows of their experiences, Cullen explains: “There’s a back and forth between some of these songs, and they feel at opposite ends of the spectrum. We have moments where we stumble and slip a little to the dark. Then we have confident strides and lean a little to the light. But we live in this perfect moment between both. I like to think one doesn’t exist without the other.”
