The Cords

The Cords

£27.99

Released: 26th September 2025. Comprising of sisters Eva and Grace Tedeschi, they started playing drums when they were little kids. They found that they liked '80s and '90s indie music more than their peers did, and so formed a band, just the two of them, with Grace on drums and Eva on guitar - and the songs started to flow. The 2025 self-titled album was produced by Jonny Scott and Simon Liddel, and it respects the band's stripped down DIY approach. There is some bass guitar (played by Eva and Grace) and occasionally a keyboard pokes its head above the surface. But these elements are simply doing their job: the real stars of this record are Eva's sinuous guitar and silky vocals, and Grace's clattering, expressive sing-song drums. It's the sound of two sisters having an intense musical conversation with each other, pushing each other on to greater heights, exhilarated by the set of perfect pop songs they have magicked up.
