Von Brian Deck produziertes Album der britischen Band, deren Mitgleider mittlerweile teilweise in den USA wohnen. Man sagt, A New Tide wäre eine Rückkehr zu alten Stärken.

(Glitterhouse)

A NEW TIDE marks a return to the always-freewheeling British band’s more experimental roots, with songs like “Win Park Slope” and “Airstream Driver” evincing a spirit born of boundless imagination and a longstanding collaborative relationship. With the band members now scattered across two continents, from Brooklyn to Brighton, England, early tracks were written and recorded individually and then merged online. The process allowed for an open and adaptive songwriting approach, the material taking on its ultimate shape when Gomez officially convened in studios in Chicago and Charlottesville, VA, with producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine, Counting Crows).
