Essex-based artist Maximilian Tanner crafts a luminous dreamscape with “Full Surrender”, a July 18th release that channels the melancholic euphoria of 80s new wave through a deeply personal lens.
Crafted in the solitude of his shed in Frinton-on-Sea, âFull Surrenderâ bears the fingerprints of a deeply personal creative process. The track is steeped in ethereal textures and pulsing new wave influences, with lush synth layers that swirl like fog over calm waters. Tannerâs vocals cut through the haze with haunting clarity, guiding the listener through a sonic landscape thatâs both nostalgic and forward-looking.
At its core, âFull Surrenderâ is a meditation on closureâthe quiet strength it takes to acknowledge when something has run its course. Itâs a theme that Tanner explores with grace and subtlety, creating a mood that lingers long after the final note fades.
With upcoming shows on the horizonâincluding a support slot for Terminal in Sheffieldâand co-signs from the likes of John Maus, Tannerâs momentum is undeniable. âSurrenderâ isnât just a debutâitâs a statement: raw, reflective, and impossible to ignore.
With âSurrender,â Maximilian Tanner delivers a hauntingly single, a synth-soaked reflection on letting go that marks him as a compelling new voice in alt-pop
