Artist: SPRING TIM CULL
Who: Musical moniker of Liverpool singer-songwriter Tess Corr. Inspired by PJ Harvey, QOTSA, and NIN, she produces a dark alt rock sound with elements of grunge, industrial, indie, shoegaze & goth, resulting in powerful fuzz-heavy outbursts & softer episodes, scattered with serrated guitar & synth elements.
Track: SPRING TIME CULL
“The song is was inspired by a devastating news article about how a whole pack of wolves was illegally poisoned in the Apennine mountains in Italy in 2023 by a suspected farmer. The song is sung from the point of view of a mother wolf warning her cub about the dangers of humans: how they have exploited their habitat for their own means, and view wolves as a threat.
This story made Tender Claws think about human-wildlife coexistence on a wider scale and how it is so imbalanced and unfair, and how nature is often disrespected, disregarded or taken for granted.”
TUTV: Spring Time Cull displays a monumental sonority, generated by a towering drum/guitar clash and glueing synths. Thunder and lightning everywhere, while Corr‘s gothesque voice completes the sonic presence of horror and evil in the air. This
spine-chilling thrill sends shivers down your spine. Helter skelter.
“I saw something I hope you never have to see
Six black death bags in the shapes of us
Another pack that were unfortunate
Victims of the spring time cull”
