In the twentieth year of the band’s existence, The Tangent are pleased to announce their 12th studio album.
Songs From The Hard Shoulder sees The Tangent focusing almost entirely on their long format songs or “epics” with only one song being less than 16 minutes long. A very mature sounding record, the band have audibly focused on the compositional structure of this album which in the case of the three long pieces is also highly complex and “thought out”.
From a luscious and uplifting song about loneliness in Covid lockdown, to a full on 17-minute-long jazz/prog/canterbury fusion instrumental, to a darkly electronic story of a homeless woman with shades of Nine Inch Nails, Po90, Japan and Van Der Graaf lurking within. The album’s final track is the 4-minute bouncy Motown-style track “Wasted Soul”, where the band anticipate a wonderful day in the future when the pandemic is over forever.
Early editions and the vinyl edition will include the bonus track “In The Dead Of Night”, a cover version of the classic song by UK.
