Now, Now Offshoot Tancred Announces New Album 'Out of the Garden' for Spring 2016 on Polyvinyl

Jess Abbott, aka Tancred, has signed with Polyvinyl Records, which we found out thanks to a new announcement video for her upcoming album Out of the Garden, which is set for a Spring 2015 release on the Illinois label. Known mostly for her role as guitarist and backup vocalist in Now, Now, Abbott's offshoot solo work has garnered plenty of attention - hence this exciting signing and record announcement. Listen to a teaser of Tancred's new music below.

Out of the Garden is the follow-up effort to Tancred's self-titled 2013 release on Topshelf Records, which was an impressive mix of indie and pop-punk. Simply judging only by the Polyvinyl announcement video's tease of one of her new songs and the overall look and mood of the video, Tancred appears to be headed in a darker, more mature direction.

The clip we hear in the video is grittier, with a different vocal delivery as well. Obviously we can't assume the entire record will sound like this brief sample, but we can definitely hear Abbott's range and progression and growth in regards to her songwriting.

We're happy to see a talented artist signing to a great record label. Tancred has yet to announce any other news aside from the Spring 2016 release of the new album, but we're definitely excited to learn of tour dates and hear full versions of Abbott's Out of the Garden songs.
