Tangents (band)

Australian band

Tangents is an Australian band, currently signed to Temporary Residence Limited. Their music incorporates elements of jazz, free improvisation, post-rock, and electronic music.[1]

Tangents was founded in 2010, and the group released its first album, I, in 2013; the record was mastered by Chicago-based producer Casey Rice.[1] After touring with Mono in 2015, they signed with Temporary Residence and released their second album Stateless with the label in mid-2016.[1] While I was largely recorded live in the studio, Stateless was put together from improvisations that were digitally manipulated and then put together.[2]

In 2018, the group released a third album, New Bodies.[3][4]
