We are seven strong and seven years old. We like to make things, write things, play things & draw things.

We run our own record label called GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK B.R. (Bedroom Recordings), which is pretty much a vinyl only label (occasionally we do limited handmade cassettes too). We started the label to release our own music aswell as other stuff that we like & support. We're also just starting to put out a few independent books too, the first one being "Everything Is Better Under Covers" By Jaime (Tanaou), which is out in July and is a collection of short stories, poetry & other writings... There a few others on the way too.

We do most of our recordings in a studio in Umea, in the North of Sweden where our friend and practically our eighth member Magnus Lindberg (who also plays in the band Cult Of Luna) helps us put our music onto tape. We've made so many great friends and spent so much time there in the 5 years since we first started going there that the Umea snow feels just as much like home as Northampton does.

The only loose objective of Tanaou is to create some nice sounds, tell some stories, see some new places, spend time with our friends and make some new ones, but if by doing theses things we can make a few people think a little harder and dig a little deeper then that's very much cool by us!"
