Lo-fi UK indie- electronic duo TENDER – return with their much-anticipated single, 'daydreamers,' marking their first release in two years via Nettwerk. This lovesick track is a vibrant showcase of their musical prowess. The bouncing groove, adorned with cleverly pitched vocal samples, sweet synth embellishments, and an infectious funk bassline, creates an irresistible sonic experience.
Lead singer James Cullen's plaintive vocals add emotional depth to the track, expressing devotion with the poignant lines, "You don’t have to love me every single day / Just love me when it matters and baby I’m okay." 'daydreamers' revolves around the theme of all-consuming love, where thoughts are captivated by that one special person, a beautifully simple yet resonant message according to the duo.
Having navigated the delicate balance between the personal and universal in their previous work, TENDER's return with 'daydreamers' hints at a promising year ahead. The duo, consisting of James Cullen and Dan Cobb, teases a forthcoming album, much of which was shaped during the pandemic, offering a glimpse into their personal journeys.
