tendertwin

Nurtured transatlantic, Tendertwin is a forager for half-lived stories. Born in Istanbul, Bilge Nur Yilmaz’s distinctive voice subtly soaks up Turkey’s rich musical heritage from the lapping tides of the Black Sea and Mediterranean, and filters it through drifting time spent in Philadelphia, Oxford, and London — a familiar folk sound with an industrial glitch where landscapes are entangled in ambient sounds, wrong-footing melodies and unpredictable arrangements reminiscing those of Linda Perhacs or My Brightest Diamond.

Currently a resident artist at The Roundhouse, Tendertwin’s former singles Plastik, Absolute Nobody and Triangles, put her on the radar of international press (i.e. La Blogothèque, WXPN, Secret Meeting, Soho Radio, UPROXX, For the Rabbits, Tsugi Radio, BBC Introducing, and BBC Scotland). The first single off her EP Ship Argo, named Asking is out on April 17th; and with the second single The Runners out May 14th, leading up to her performance at TGE 2024
