Ten Fé Unveil New Song HERE AGAIN From Upcoming New Album

Ten Fé will release their sophomore album next month and embark on a massive tour spanning North America, UK and Europe, and today they share another track off the forthcoming record. “Here Again” is a hymn to the idea that all good things take time to materialize, a central theme of Future Perfect, Present Tense. Influenced by the dark pop of The Cure, and the directness of R.E.M, the band explain of the new song: “it's been a bit of a mantra for us since we started, and certainly around the recording of this album, that nothing of value is easy to achieve. So it's all about having faith that everything's gonna turn out alright in the end. That's what the new record is all about.” The band continue, “It's wistful, but upbeat and playful, lamenting the passing of time, but embracing change and growing older, reinvigorated for the future and all that's yet to come.' Listen to “Here Again” NOW.

Ten Fé Unveil New Song COASTING From Upcoming New Album

Ten Fé will release their incredible sophomore record Future Perfect, Present Tense on March 8th via Some Kinda Love/PIAS, and today they share another track from the album “Coasting.” The band say the song is a “celebration of new love.” They explain: “it's a simple statement - 'when I'm with you, I don't need anything or anyone else. This feels easy, it feels like a fresh start: I'm coasting'. Musically we kept it really simple too to reflect the sentiment. We wanted it to feel rootsy like The E Street Band and CCR and also channel a Britpop directness.” Listen to the song HERE and check out the article in The Line of Best Fit HERE, who say “the hypnotising 'Coasting' has the frank songwriting voice of Young and Springsteen, and the lofty instrumentation of Deerhunter and War On Drugs.”

LIGHT YEARS is a deeply personal story of son and father attempting to understand each other. The relationship is firmly grounded in love and respect.
