Super limited Edition on RED TRANSPARENT Vinyl of TENDERLASH’s debut, released in Late January this year. ‘Hold Still’ is an adventure into a shadowy wonderland. The nine-tracks album visits themes circling the afterlife, supernatural beings, and the mentality of the masses. Tenderlash manages to balance light and dark with powerful dance beats, playful synth lines, and melodic vocals. Tenderlash is the solo electronic project of artist/composer/DJ Candy Durant, drawing from influences in 80s underground, new wave, coldwave, and darkwave. Durant is also known for spearheading the “For the Bats” fundraiser gothic music compilations. Her voice has been compared to other female artists such as Marnie from Ladytron and Miss Kittin while her music is said to be distinctive with a bit of dark nostalgia.
A review for 'Hold Still':
Quiet yet engaging synth pop/coldwave. Attention to detail like shifting vocals soundstage on Inferno and Fate add subtle interest without being gimmicky. A highly consistent record, easy to listen to.
Released Late October 2021 by Swiss Dark Nights.
