Three years in the making, ‘Smoke and Mirrors' showcases bigger and bolder sounds that have been building from the Tenek studio. Each track having a common theme throughout, "Things are not what they seem…" - Tenek. This album was designed to offer a variety for both listening audiences (live or on-air), as well as for global sync licensing opportunities. Taking things to a new level, the band enlisted the talents of additional musicians such as: Paul Jackson, Sam Morrison (bass), Michael Steer (bass) and newly added band member Steve Clark (drums/vocals).
Since Tenek's second album ‘On The Wire' and the recently released EP's ‘Another Day' and ‘ What Kind of Friend? ' were successful tests of the the new direction the band has been taking their music.
Tenek are all about hard grinding electro grooves, a power house of classic British synthesizer pop and stabs of driving guitar and percussion to bring in a slice of rock edge.
