Tenuous Threads is an alternative electronic and rock musician from Australia who builds up experimental compositions that are founded in exploratory soundscapes and searching vocals.
The artist recently released his debut EP titled Mettle. From the songwriting to the recording, Tenuous Threads weaves in unusual combinations of sound and structures.
