Glasgow newcomers Tanzana sign to SO Recordings (Enter Shikari, Deadletter, Big Special) and Hideous Mink Records (Alien Chicks, Opus Kink, Y) releasing debut single “Covet” on November 11 following its BBC 6 Music Steve Lamacq premiere the night before. Directed by Celia Hackford, the track showcases the quintet’s trip-hop influenced alternative rock that has already earned countless admirers within the vibrant Scottish scene, leading to dates alongside Lucia & The Best Boys and their own club night at King Tut’s last summer. The group explains “Covet” represents feelings of obsession and longing for something out of reach while being musically inspired by nature and its destruction. Tanzana is Freya Talbot on vocals, Lily Findlay on guitar, Sarah Dunn on guitar, Katie Hare on bass and Karolina Skinderskyte on drums.
Fresh from a UK run supporting Cliffords earlier this month and three shows at Left Of The Dial, the emerging quintet play cult London venue The George Tavern on November 13 as part of The Great Escape’s First Fifty showcase series. Further live dates include The Great Escape in Brighton May 14-16 and ArcTanGent on August 22 with more shows in the works for the coming months alongside additional new material primed for what promises to be a mammoth year ahead.
