Tancred Debuts New Song “Birthday Candles”

Tancred (Jess Abbott) is thrilled to share new song “Birthday Candles,” a previously-unreleased B-side to her critically-acclaimed 2016 album, Out of the Garden, which is out now on Polyvinyl Records. “The song idea came from a dream I had about blowing out candles on a birthday cake,” Abbott shares, expounding upon the track’s inspiration, “and how you can be surrounded by people and still feel really isolated and alone.”

With the release of “Birthday Candles” comes the news of Abbott’s amicable and mutual departure from Now, Now. Both Abbott and KC and Brad are excited to continue pursuing their desired creative direction through Tancred and Now, Now respectively, and are grateful for the experiences they shared together during Now, Now’s period as a trio.
