Rebellious candour, existentialism, and friendship are at the crux of what drives and motivates Tommy Lefroy, the songwriter, producer and artist project by Wynter Bethel and Vancouver’s Tessa Mouzourakis. Described as a “band for our fever dreams,” it was a series of sliding doors moments and necessity – with both women 5,000 miles apart and facing cataclysmic shifts in their romantic and everyday lives – that brought Tommy together. From meeting in Nashville in 2018 to continually crossing paths, Tessa, inspired after seeing supergroup Boy Genius thought: “I want this, I can do this.” She posted a cover of their song “Ketchum,ID” on her Instagram story and Wynter responded: “Can we start a band?”. Both strong and “laughably existential” female characters in their own lives, and together, a musical powerhouse with an enduring soul connection, the band moved to London and released their debut EP Flight Risk in 2021, a sonic haze of ethereal storytelling, which has amassed over 50 million streams.
