Having released three EP’s - ‘Fantasy’ (2019), ‘Monarch’ (2021) and ‘SugarCoated’ (2022) - Tarn is exploring new sonic worlds and developing a distinctive style, setting him apart from the surrounding landscape.

Having focused on stripped back songs on the ‘Monarch’ EP, Tarn developed the ‘SugarCoated’ EP by incorporating elements of hyper pop, alt pop and left of centre inflections. In 2023, Tarn has been developing his next body of work which will continue in a new direction. The first taste of this is the single ‘Papier-Mâché’ a dynamic slow burn, incorporating a new sonic palette of distorted guitars, synthesisers, and deflated drum sounds.
