TTSSFU — aka Manchester’s Tasmin Nicole Stephens — conjures enormous atmospheric worlds using just GarageBand in their bedroom. The DIY shoegazer deftly combines the eeriness of The Cure with the fast BPM of The Strokes and The Drums: most recently on new EP ‘Me, Jed and Andy’, which TTSSFU produced, mixed, and mastered themselves, and which features the first single on Partisan Records 'Studio 54'.
TTSSFU signed to Partisan Records, went on to play a string of festival dates including Green Man (as a Rising finalist), Bristol Sounds and Manchester Psych Fest, and support Soccer Mommy and Mannequin Pussy across their UK tours, all while their debut EP continues to pick up natural traction (single ‘I Hope You Die’ recently organically passed 650k streams on Youtube and is picking up speed). This November (2025), TTSSFU will support English Teacher on their upcoming UK tour. 2026 will be another busy year for TTSSFU as she prepares another EP and a debut album. Catch them in Bedford for the first time in January.
As TTSSFU, Tasmin Stephens isn’t content to simply exist in a vague pool of dream-pop inspired newcomers, nor happy to operate quietly in the shadows. Tasmin demands attention, and will be quick to receive it. Her aesthetic, hyper-specific and often unsettling, is imbued with an innate love of analogue horror and the intoxicating glitch and noise of early internet yore. A whirlpool of chaotic energy.
