Tenterkook unveils self-titled début EP stream [IAI PREMIÈRE]
Tenterhook - aka Archie Faulks - is a singer-songwriter who sold out his FIRST EVER show at the famous Jazz Servants Quarters in East London earlier this year. His debut EP has been one we've been looking forwards to ever since we first heard the demo for "Stereo" and most recently "Chemicals". We've been playing him a lot over at IAIHQ and we seriously think that he can easily be one of the 'Ones to watch' for 2015, early I know but everything is falling into place for this talented musician.
The EP opens up with the tender track "Stereo", one of his first songs that helped sell out a show in London earlier this year, you can easily tell why people were excited to see him, crisp vocals, a song that builds and builds to end in a dramatic way, a radio friendly song for the 21st century, who needs garish videos and outlandish statements, all Tenterhook needs is his voice! After the opening tracks departs it gives way to his biggest track - based on listens - "Chemicals", it's a track that follows the same principles of the one before it, but with a faster chorus and more prominent guitars and without the piano keys there too this track is more relateable for even the heavily bearded hipster. With a strong set of harmonies assisting the track, it's one you have to just play and play again!
The second half of the EP takes a slower turn, showing Archie's softer side, "London Heart" features the wonderful Stephanie Fraser, and I'm a big sucker for gentle boy girl vocals, hence why I loved the second Bombay Bicycle Club album and most recently the work from Los Campesinos! But this track is so simple and yet so beautiful, just proves that you don't need a massive pedal board and a crazy drummer to sound good, all that's here is a set of vocals, some strings, delicate piano keys and a strong heart-warming song, easily the centrepiece of the EP
The EP ends on "All Out", aptly named if you ask me as this is the most experimental track of his, really reminds me of early Lianne La Havas with the finger picking in the guitars and the deep drums echoing in the background. His vocals are really on show here with him hitting the high notes with ease and this six minute epic could easily just be one of the hidden gems of the year so far, if you make it to the end of the EP - which you clearly just have to for this - then you'd be rewarded with a simply stunning performance. The latter half of the song is strongly reminiscent of Wild Beasts, but Archie has certainly made a sublime EP!
You might be forgiven to think that this guy has come through a reality programme with vocals that's so sweet and polished, X Factor and The Voice are all way too out of his league as his abilities to sing are astonishing. You NEED to hear this and check out the EP in full below!

10 Of The Best Tracks We Heard This Week (w/e 8th June)
It's that time of the week again, the beginning - BUT if you've feel liked you have missed out on anything we have a quick run down of TEN of the best tracks from the past 7 days. We're nearly half the way through the year too, flip me it's gone quickly!
Anyway, here we go!
Haus - Ceasfire
Last weeks' Track of the week - Their most recent track is a slower track of theirs, "Ceasefire" starts off with the bass and a light guitar, with a burst of vocals and a splash of summery guitar lines coming in after. The track is certainly a laid back number, maybe written while they were touring with Jaws, as it does have a slightly surf feel to it, but one thing is for certain. It's a bright summer anthem that will certainly have you swooning for more from the infectious band from North London.
Pool - What It Is
The electronic trio from Hamburg in Germany are back with a bright new track called "What It Is". We're premièring both the soundcloud stream of the single and their video that they recorded while on tour. With duel vocals layered out thick bass lines, light melodic guitar bursts and tight production this track is one of those three minute gems that you would always play when the sun comes out, it's certainly going to be one of our summer anthems.
Delamere - Do You Want Me? (Frett Remix)
So it looks like that Frett aren't just good at making music, but are also great at remixing others too! They've taken Delamere's track "Do You Want Me?" and have turned it into a track similar to that of The 1975's interlude tracks crossed with Alt-J's oddness.
Certainly a great electronic remix.
The Ting Tings - Wrong Club
Six years later, it's very easy to not think much of The Ting Tings after an identity crisis second album that didn't create half the buzz the first album generated. It's surprising but nice to say the indie pop duo are back with a disco stormer entitled 'Wrong Club'.
Circa Waves - Young Chasers
Circa Waves have a brand new single, "Young Chasers" really does remind us of The Vaccines when they released their first album, a wash of surfy guitars, oohs and ahhs, sweet melodic fuzz and anthematic verses.
Tenterhook - Chemicals
Tenterhook - aka Archie Faulks - is a singer-songwriter who sold out his FIRST EVER show at the famous Jazz Servants Quarters in East London earlier this year. His latest demo is called "Chemicals" and the full version will appear on his début EP which is due out in September.
Cloud Boat - Hideaway
The utter legends that are Cloud Boat have unveiled a brand new track called "Hideaway", we were blown away by their track "Carmine" earlier on in the year and this one simply blows it away. If you could imagine Clock Opera's début (and only) album mixed in with some James Blake production then you have "Hideaway".
Klaxons - Show Me a Miracle
Klaxons are well known for not holding back, and their video for "Show Me a Miracle" has big nods to Kanye's "Bound 2" video, you can clearly see what I'm on about if you watch the video. Please be sober when watching this, or you'll be freaked out!
Their album "Love Frequency" was out June 2nd, buy it now on iTunes and all good record shops!
Wild Cub - Hold On, We're Going Home
Wild Cub have had quite the 12 months, their début album came out, they've played SXSW, toured with The 1975 and have played their own sell out headline shows too. The guys have had a lot of fun and it easily shows with their cover of Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home".
Childhood - Falls Away (Jack Savidge / Friendly Fires Remix)
Jack Savidge of Friendly Fires has taken Childhood's single "Fall Away" and has remixed it and the results are FAB! The track is now a house laden track with added synths and bright electronic bursts, far from the original!
Anyway, here we go!
