TEN TONNES shares fourth LP reveal ‘Drowning In The Deep End’ | out today via ABSOLUTE
Detailing his latest effort, the songwriter explained: “This song was a way of me processing a tough time in my life and lyrically I think it set a theme for the rest of the album of deeper honesty and transparency with myself. I didn’t want it to feel too heavy musically though and it’s written more from a place of looking back at a dark period as opposed to being in the centre of it. I’ve played it live a couple of times now and it’s so much fun to play and I think that’s ultimately a really satisfying full circle feeling of owning that time in my life and appreciating where I’ve got to since then”.
