The Trampoline Delay / Tandem Bike

  



The Skinny Review:
With “Tandem Bike,” The Trampoline Delay step away from big indie-rock choruses and sink into a denser, shoegaze-inspired sound built on texture, distortion, and mood.The track unexpectedly transformed during its creation, becoming louder, heavier, and far more atmospheric than first imagined. Anchored by Pete Marino’s introspective lyrics, "Tandem Bike" offers a relatable look at the idea of not needing to carry everything alone.

In Their Own Words: 

"'Tandem Bike' started as a song I was writing for someone else,” says frontman Pete Marino. “I met a local singer whose voice I really liked and thought it would be interesting to write something specifically for her. Before I even started, I asked if she had a theme or idea she connected with. The only thing that really landed was a tattoo she shared with a close friend, a tandem bike. They’d both been through a lot and got the tattoos as a quiet way of saying, ‘we’ve got each other’.”
