Ten Tonnes - 'Drowning in the Deep End'
Ten Tonnes releases new single ‘Drowning in the Deep End’ ahead of his forthcoming LP ‘Dancing, Alone’.
Ten Tonnes, otherwise known as Ethan Barnett, releases the fourth and final reveal ‘Drowning in the Deep End’ for his LP ‘Dancing, Alone’. Since his first self-titled 2019 debut album, Ethan has undergone a multitude of changes both in his life and in his music, the four years since his debut release the songwriter has become independent and moved out of London, started therapy and focused on the introverted part of his brain. Ten Tonnes is returning with a mature and majestic second album ‘Dancing, Alone’ that is about reflection, growing up and carving a different path for himself.
Detailing his latest effort, Ethan says that ‘Drowning in the Deep End’ was a way for him to process the tough time in his life and lyrically set a theme for the rest of ‘Dancing, Alone’ of deeper honesty and transparency within himself with lyrics like ‘All you wanted was to feel free. But it gets so tiring to pretend.’ He continues that, “I didn’t want it to feel too heavy musically through and it’s written more from a place of looking back at a dark period as opposed to being in the centre of it.”
With Ten Tonnes having an extensive UK tour lined up for September, with sold-out dates with his London and Manchester headliners. The indie sensation will be celebrating his album release in-store gigs throughout the UK this July as he looks to capitalise on previous plaudits across the broadsheets, The Guardian and The Times, key indie champions NME, DIY and The Line of Best Fit, to countless plays on the BBC, Absolute Radio and Radio X Airwaves.
