TEN TONNES shares third LP reveal ‘Lone Star’ | out today via ABSOLUTE
Speaking ahead of its release, Ten Tonnes explained: “I wrote this song a couple of years ago now and the initial idea came from the title I had written in my phone years prior. I was inspired by a lot of my favourite songs from the 50’s and early 60’s and that tradition of pure songwriting. The title always evoked a kind of Joe Meek production to me so I wanted to try and capture that. I wanted it to feel like a live performance and for every part to have an intention and a place. I think it’ll be a great one to play live too”.
