“Tender,” the new single from The Ballroom Thieves off their upcoming album “Sundust,” serves as an excellent harbinger of what to expect from the duo — emotional depth and sincerity in every note.

Inspired by a moment at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival, Martin of The Ballroom Thieves shares the story behind the birth of “Tender.”

“We were immersed in the haunting melodies of Watchhouse, and right there at the festival, the spark ignited. The sparse instrumentation, the fluid melodies – it whispered to me, urging me to start crafting ‘Tender’ in that very moment.”

Reflecting on the creative process, Martin unveils important lessons drawn from musical experiences. I can confidently recommend “Tender” by The Ballroom Thieves to all enthusiasts of true musical depth. Its emotional melancholy and purity of execution make this track true gem for those who appreciate the indie folk genre.
