A moody outdoor portrait of a band spread across rolling green hills under an overcast sky. One person stands centrally in a light beige suit and loosened tie, facing the camera, while four others are positioned around the hillside — sitting or lying on the grass — creating a surreal, cinematic composition. The landscape stretches into the distance with patchwork fields, trees and misty countryside, giving the image a melancholic, atmospheric feel.

Gently Tender are a South London 6 piece band formed from the ashes of Palma Violets— Sam Fryer, Pete Mayhew and Will Doyle are now joined by musicians Francesca Brierley, Adam Brown and Evie Hilyer-Ziegler. Their sound is inspired by the british countryside – an indie rock band with lush harmonies and pastoral melodies – touching on folk, punk and soul. Having released a critically acclaimed, Matthew E White produced debut album in 2022, they’re launching new music in spring 2026.
