about

Happy Valentine's Day, Lovebirds!

Aldora Britain Records are fantastically excited to be having a knees up this Valentine's Day with versatile Brighton indie heroes, Tenderhooks. 'Stella Heartbeat' has arrived with infectiously pop-driven hooks. This will be the soundtrack of Valentine's Day for many years to come!

There is something quite extraordinary about Markus Leinweber. This is a man who has been delivering unforgettable, singalong gems for well over a decade, existing and operating well outside the mainstream in the 'Hooks universe. 'Stella Heartbeat' follows in this rich tradition and fits into the Tenderhooks canon with suitable ease. A glorious, sun-soaked explosion of romanticised euphoria from the offset, this track is hip-shakingly joyous and toe-tappingly anthemic. An indie pop odyssey with a recurring, pounding rock and roll piano. This is what you need for Valentine's Day! With love from us to you...

For fans of Belle & Sebastian, Camera Obscura, The Beautiful South, Teenage Fanclub and The Vaselines.
