In a music landscape often dominated by fleeting trends, The Heroic Enthusiasts emerge as a testament to the enduring power of musicianship and thoughtful songwriting. Over the past two years, this New York duo of James Tabbi and Thomas Ferrara, have captivated listeners across the globe and gained momentum with their distinct sound that blends nostalgia with a modern edge. Their journey, marked by the release of two much loved EPs, now reaches a pivotal moment with the upcoming release of their first full-length album ‘Illuminate’, led by the new lead single ‘All I Want.’

Produced by the legendary Stephen Hague (New Order, Pet Shop Boys, and Erasure) ‘All I Want’ encapsulates the duo’s ability to craft songs that are both emotionally resonant and innovative. Hague, who describes their music as “a breath of fresh air,” has found in The Heroic Enthusiasts a rare combination of craft and artistry that harks back to the golden age of Britpop and New Wave while pushing those influences into new territory.

The Heroic Enthusiasts draw from their rich musical heritage, with roots in bands like Eleven Pond and Bullseye. Yet their collaboration with Hague has taken their sound to new heights. Over the course of nearly two years, the trio exchanged ideas and refined tracks across continents, resulting in an album that is as much a product of this creative partnership as it is of the duo’s own artistic vision.

‘All I Want’ is a striking introduction to ‘Illuminate’. It’s a track that encapsulates the album’s intent: to offer clarity in a time of uncertainty. Ferrara’s guitar work, combined with Tabbi’s evocative vocals, weaves a soundscape that is both vivid and intimate. The track’s pulsating rhythms and vibrant synthlines are a nod to the duo’s influences, yet they are presented in a way that feels entirely fresh and progressive. With ‘All I Want’ as its herald, The Heroic Enthusiasts’ forthcoming album is poised to solidify their place as one of the most compelling acts in contemporary music.
