Listen to the new single from the acclaimed Dublin-based band below.
Following the release of their lauded debut album Rom-Com last year, Tandem Felix are back with a stellar new single 'The Assassination' – inspired by both Lee Harvey Oswald's assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, and a crime scene the band stumbled upon when playing a string of shows in London in 2015.
"Maybe this scene, in a fashionable part of London that I was struggling to impress upon, was the scene of my own assassination attempt," Tandem Felix's frontman David Tapley reflects. "Shots fired in Bethnal Green/ And everyone fled the scene."
"Like with the Oswald story, within ‘The Assassination’ there are a myriad of surprises, conspiracies and hidden messages throughout," he adds. "Hopefully this song inspires its own Oliver Stone-directed film, but this time starring Leonard DiCaprio and Kate Winslet."
