Album Review

Gently Tender - Take Hold Of Your Promise!

A debut that embraces optimism and nihilism in equal measures.

Gently Tender - Take Hold Of Your Promise!

Reviewer: Alisdair Grice

Released: 26th August 2022

Label: So Young

For their debut, the affable Gently Tender have presented a compelling collection of folk melodies, doused in silken harmonies and strung together by vocalist Sam Fryer’s deep, magnetic baritone. “Maybe I’m in heaven, or maybe I don’t care,” he contemplates on the dream-folk ‘Heaven Ho’, suggesting an indifference that intimately captures the overwhelming feeling of the last few years for the South London supergroup.
