Album review: TIZANE – Forever Is Nothing

Burning Girl Records [Release date 23.06.23]

This is the second album from Tizane following 2021′s ‘Cherry’ which I have to say completely escaped our attention. Described as dark pop-rock the album starts almost invisibly with ‘Off The Edge’ and it takes second track ‘Don’t Tell Me The End’ to really capture the attention. It reminds me of a more souped-up Cardigans.

It’s not all fast-paced, with the mid-tempo ‘When The Ravens Leave’ and ‘Running’ and acoustic ‘I’m Not Her’ showcasing Tizane’s fine and contemporary vocal.

The album is an intriguing blend of the more upbeat and the more reflective, sometimes within the same song. There’s even a co-write – and album standout – with Rob Davis who was Mud’s guitarist: ‘Every Minute’.

Listeners will surely make comparisons with Paramore, The Pretty Reckless and inevitably Halestorm. As with many young bands and in particular those operating in a similar space – for example Bastette - they need to break out of small stuffy venues and, with a few well placed support slots and festivals, could certainly widen their audience. ****
