‘Valley of Distraction’ is the 4th studio album from Tankus (previously Tankus The Henge). Produced by Jim Sclavunos (The Bad Seeds, Grinderman, etc) and mixed by Marc Urselli (Lou Reed, Nick Cave, U2, etc) the album marks a new chapter in the band’s extraordinary career. Blending piano rock, blues, jazz, and pop into one cohesive artistic statement that pushes boundaries but remains unmistakenly Tankus.
Tankus are a relentlessly creative rock band led by the indefatigable Jaz Delorean. After more than a decade on the road and over 1,400 shows across Europe, the group has forged a fiercely loyal community around their visceral, theatrical live performances. Their music blends rock, punk, and indie with literary storytelling, drawing inspiration from the Beat Generation and countercultural icons, yet remains defiant of any single genre.
Members: Jaz Delorean, Russ Evans, Daniel Hipkin, João Mello, Jack Price, João Taborda.
