The Heroic Enthusiasts’ highly-anticipated sophomore album Illuminate arrives April 11th on Meridian (ECR Music Group). Remarkably, the album is co-written and co-produced by Stephen Hague, one of Pop Music’s foundational producers of the last half-century thanks to his work with New Order, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Pet Shop Boys, Peter Gabriel, Robbie Robertson, Erasure, and Depeche Mode. Illuminate’s stand-alone singles have received multiple nods from Apple Music (four adds to their coveted New In Alternative playlist), over 800,000 streams across platforms, and press coverage on five continents. Unsurprisingly, the band has enjoyed explosive audience growth.
The band’s duo—singer James Tabbi and guitarist Thomas Ferrara—initially bonded over a shared love of Brit-pop, New Wave, and Post-Punk, following solo efforts and as founding members of bands Eleven Pond (Tabbi) and Bullseye (Ferrara). Their almost two-year working relationship with Hague has grown into one of mutual respect and friendship, and the duo now finds themselves collaborating with the visionary music maker whose sound defines not only the duo’s own influences, but Pop Music’s past five decades.
The UK’s Clash Magazine hails The Heroic Enthusiasts as “Challenging yet innovative…a sound that feels equally nostalgic yet future-facing.” Post Punk calls the duo’s work “Striking, cinematic..” Earmilk adds, “A rich and textured soundscape that toes the line between classic and refreshing.”
