Ten Fé: Momentum
Ten Fé are Ben and Leo from London whose electronic-rock and roll sound has been described as being “darkly romantic”, “irresistible”, “big, bold and ambitious” and “oozing swagger”. The band have taken just a handful of singles to become one of the most exciting new British prospects.
After the successes of Make Me Better, a bombastic debut full of Verve-esque strings and big percussion, and In The Air, the driving, indie anthem which went to no. 2 in Hype Machine’s most popular chart in December, they followed up with more of the same brooding, meditative heights in the contagious Elodie, which hit the same no. 2 spot in March. The band continually deliver a sound infused with electronics complementing their signature psychedelia, melody and harmony. They’ve been likened to artists ranging from The Beatles to Primal Scream to The War On Drugs.
After full-to-capacity shows at Eurosonic and The Great Escape this year, the band are excited to play Reeperbahn in the autumn then their own shows around the UK and Europe before SXSW in 2017. Their debut album is currently being produced by Ewan Pearson (M83, Jagwar Ma, The Rapture) in Berlin.
Ten Fé’s debut album is due out in early 2017, with the first single from the album coming out at the end of summer 2016. The band is being supported by Momentum through funding to create music videos for the album singles and get on the road for their headline tour to coincide with the album release. After full-to-capacity shows at Eurosonic and The Great Escape this year, the band are excited to play Reeperbahn in the autumn and then their own shows around the UK and Europe before SXSW in spring 2017.
