about

Pōneke/ Wellington jangle / surf / fuzz-pop sextet Tidal Rave return with an eight song album. "Albumette" was primarily written during the seemingly never-ending 2020 lockdown era, and explores such pertinent topics as "police incompetence, problematic capitalism, disconnection and in-between spaces."

The recording sounds darker and heavier on “Albumette”, and the bands song-writing mixes echoes of the kind of hard-edged driving post-punk rock of Vivian Girls with the melodic flair of Dead Famous People, and the jangling energy of Look Blue, Go Purple.

Recorded by Lee Prebble and Andrew Downes at The Surgery and mastered by Mike Gibson at Munki.

Some Kind Of Eden
by Dear Time's Waste

Everything Claire Duncan does as the ever-morphing Dear Time's Waste has been remarkable - melodic, unsettling dream-pop with a novelist's eye for detail. Fishrider Records

Fazerdaze EP
by Fazerdaze

This EP from Fazerdaze (Amelia Murray) is unfussy DIY indie-pop perfection. Part pure melodic pop, part beautiful weary existential sigh with a hint of early Jesus & Mary Chain, fuzz & reverb tamed. Fishrider Records

Mother Of Gloom
by Emily Fairlight

A glorious album of dark alternative country-folk. Fairlight’s ageless voice simultaneously beautiful and terrifying, possessed of a resonant vibrato and smooth and tough as weathered teak. Fishrider Records

Such good healing energy on this album. Perfect for recovering from surgery. Thoughtful, plaintive, free of kitschy standard rock moves. Probably still good without the surgery. ;) spencer_huggies
