Tancred

Tancred is the '90s alt-rock-influenced solo project of singer/guitarist Jess Abbott, formerly of the indie rock group Now, Now. While her 2011 debut album, Capes, had an emo-influenced lo-fi demeanor, she developed a more aggressive sound that embraced hooks à la the Breeders and Weezer by her third LP, 2016's Out of the Garden. Arriving in 2018, Nightstand was a more vulnerable, nuanced outing. A still gentler mix of acoustic guitar and subtle electronics marked 2022's "Mirepoix," Tancred's first solo release in four years.
