Tender

British duo Tender returns to Paris for a series of intimate concerts at Le Hasard Ludique. Expect an evening of indie pop rock, imbued with melancholy and delicate sound textures.

Tender, the London duo composed of James Cullen and Dan Cobb, formed in the mid-2010s. The group quickly garnered attention with their polished productions and introspective approach to electronic pop. Their early EPs, notably « Armour  » and « EP III  », laid the groundwork for a sound characterised by atmospheric synthesisers, deep basslines, and whispered vocals, often tinged with a gentle melancholy. Their music explores universal themes such as relationships, isolation, and the complexity of human emotions, earning them a devoted fanbase and critical acclaim for their authenticity.

Their debut album, « Modern Addiction  » (2017), marked an evolution towards more complex structures and ambitious production, while retaining the intimacy that is their trademark. Tracks like « Nadir  » or « Violence  » perfectly illustrate this ability to create atmospheres that are both dark and captivating. Tender stands out for its capacity to fuse elements of pop, electro, and indie rock, creating a distinctive sound that places them alongside artists exploring similar soundscapes, without ever losing their own identity. Their discography continues to grow, with each release refining their artistic proposition and exploring new facets of their sonic universe.

On stage, Tender is renowned for the fidelity of their performance to the aesthetic of their recordings. The duo manages to recreate the delicate and immersive atmosphere of their tracks, often amplified by subtle lighting and a discreet but effective stage presence. Tender's concerts are experiences where emotion takes precedence, inviting the audience to attentive and introspective listening. It's a rare opportunity to be carried away by their enveloping melodies and poignant lyrics, in a setting conducive to musical intimacy.

This visit to Paris, at Le Hasard Ludique, offers a privileged opportunity to discover or rediscover Tender's universe. The venue, known for its friendly atmosphere and proximity to artists, is the ideal setting for the duo's music.
