FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / January 19, 2020 — Tenant From Zero today premieres "This Can't Wait Til Later," a lyric video in the tradition of indie-pop greats The Smiths and The Go-Betweens. "This Can't Wait Til Later" features on Tenant From Zero's debut album, Flight, which is released on CD and download via La Bella Figura Records this Friday, January 22, 2021. Pre-order now at tenantfromzero1.bandcamp.com.    Tenant From Zero is the recording persona of Brooklyn singer-songwriter Paul Darrah. Darrah sees the project as a continuation of the proud British pop lineage of artists he has loved since his youth. “I’m drawn to singers with a sense of melancholy, romance, intelligence, and style,” he says.  Recorded in Norway, “This Can’t Wait Til Later” is propelled by a loping bassline reminiscent of The Smiths’ Andy Rourke, with shimmering guitar that evokes the classic British indiepop of the 1980s. Warm backing vocals are contributed by Estella Rosa of the band Nah. The song aches with romantic longing although it’s delivered in a breezy pop fashion.    “My friend Tim came up with the chord progression — I was inspired to start singing this upbeat vocal melody instantly,” recalls Darrah. “The lyric evolved out of a relationship that a friend of mine was having with someone who had a drinking problem. It’s not exactly an ‘up’ topic but all the elements came together in a satisfying way.”    The video for “This Can’t Wait Til Later” follows the November debut of Flight’s first lyric video, "The End Away." This latest video was edited by German musician and designer Heiko Schneider.  Musical collaborators on the Flight sessions included producer Ole Johannes Åleskjær (The Loch Ness Mouse), Gary Olson (The Ladybug Transistor), Jorge Elbrecht (Tamaryn, Violens), Joe McGinty (The Loser’s Lounge Band), Frank Navin (The Aluminum Group), and others. Darrah wrote or co-wrote each of the album’s nine tracks, as well as played synthesizer and contributed drum programming.      Flight: Tracklist   1. ZRH  2. The End Away 3.

EARLY REACTION TO TENANT FROM ZERO'S FLIGHT

“If you’ve ever wondered what it might sound like if David Sylvian (of Japan) fronted Prefab Sprout, your answer can be found on the soaring Flight. A reimagining of the best of ‘80s Brit-pop, the nine songs are equal parts tribute and triumph as he establishes himself as an artist to closely follow.” — Gregg Shapiro / PGN   “There’s a winsome, wistful quality to the music that calls to mind Everything But The Girl. Tenant From Zero has a lot to say and he says it eloquently.” — Paul Freeman / POP CULTURE CLASSICS   “’The End Away’, with its shimmering atmospherics, melancholy sax blasts, and evocative lyrical metaphors, distinctly recalls Prefab Sprout and later period Roxy Music.” — Ken Scrudato / BLACKBOOK   “The airy beats and addictive choruses of ‘The End Away’ and ‘This Can’t Wait Til Later’ are sure to find their way to college radio playlists.” — James Pasinski / JP’s MUSIC BLOG   “One of the most outstanding neo-sophistipop acts around.” — Estella Rosa / FADEAWAYRADIATE
