Tender - Where the Waves Break

Tender, the London electronic duo of James Cullen and Dan Cobb, brings its slow-burning synth pop to B72 in Vienna on 9 October 2026. On stage, the pair leans into intimate, late‑night moods: velvety synths, clipped drums, and Cullen’s clear vocals tracing stories of tangled relationships, dependency and the small fractures of everyday life. Born in a home‑studio and first shared online, their songs keep a steady pulse, with refrains that circle back and gradually sink in.

Since their first self‑released EPs, Tender has shaped a sound sitting between R&B shades and indie pop minimalism. Modern Addiction set the framework; Fear of Falling Asleep nudged the contrasts further while keeping soft textures and stripped‑back arrangements. Live, these tracks gain space and tension without losing their calm surface. Sets often weave new material with staples, shifting from hushed openings to fuller swells, always guided by melody and restraint.

Where the Waves Break follows this line: an evening at B72, Hernalser Gürtel 72-73, 1080 Wien, Austria, with the duo steering their electronic pop toward a quietly nocturnal atmosphere.
