TESSE - Dead Night Drive LP

Limited edition of 100 copies.

Sydney songwriter Tom Stephens (Tesse) returns with his most unguarded and affecting record to date. Dead Night Drive finds him sharpening his lens on themes of mortality, connection, and the small moments of domestic tenderness that carry us through.

Sonically, the record blends elements of indie folk, alt-rock, and lo-fi pop, woven with Stephens’ hushed delivery and cinematic sense of space.

Drum machines, tape hiss, and twilight textures create a soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive, recalling the quiet force of artists like Bill Callahan, Cass McCombs, and Julie Byrne.
