’Silence Island’, Tamise’s debut album, recorded with Nicolas Dufournet at Studio MELODIUM in Montreuil between late 2025 and early 2026, will be released by Talitres just before summer. There was no wish here to tamper with what gives the project its character. In the name of authenticity, and to ensure that the voice remains central to the music, the songs were recorded exclusively with travel-sized instruments: a ¾ classical guitar, guitalele, violin, pocket trumpet, bass ukulele, harmonica and kalimba.
Across these songs, Tamise reveals a delicate, poetic folk sound, fragile and luminous, where vocal harmonies, most often in English, sometimes in French, weave closely through the melodies. Their songs speak of love, wounds, travel, and the darker and brighter parts of ourselves. And when one looks at the path they have taken, with the street as their first field of expression, the street as a way to tame the world and be tamed by it in return, one suspects they have no intention of standing still just yet.
