Ten Tonnes - 'Dancing, Alone'
Ten Tonnes has released ‘Dancing, Alone’ the title track from his upcoming album this summer.
Moody and infectious guitars engulfed within this release, shoot us off into a new direction of what to expect from Ten Tonnes.
Ten Tonnes, aka Ethan Barnett explains “This is the title track of the new album and one of the main foundations I built the rest of the record off”. The song opens with a dark and atmospheric guitar riff, followed up by grungy vocals ready to be played at festivals.
The lyrics reflect struggles finding you way as a young adult, drawing on references to nights out. “Go down to Club 85 on a Saturday night, stand underneath the burning disco lights, put myself in it, stuck in the crowd, wait on the corner till the lights go out, lonely nights, in a dream, my heart it bleeds”. The song explores distractions from feelings of loneliness, surrounding yourself with people to feel less isolated, particularly through clubbing culture. The lyrics approach topics of momentary distractions from negative feelings. Pondering on if they are helpful or not, will it ultimately all end in sinking back down.
Ethan Barnett shows his versatility in songwriting with this new release, being able to both inwardly and outwardly reflect. Expressing frustrations of conflicting emotions Ten Tonnes continues to sing “I can’t spend another second on my own but it’s all I seem to do man, I need to get out”.
If you’re a fan of indie-rock music ‘Dancing, Alone’ is bound to be a real earworm for you. Striking guitars paired with an irresistible chorus. Ethan Barnett speaks on this release, “It’s one of my favourite songs I have ever written and I think it shows a completely different taste of the album and highlights the breadth of the songwriting”.
An indie-rock song born to be played for festival crowds. Infectious and energetic with a catchy chorus. It’s a must listen new release from Ten Tonnes.
