To The Tide returns to Gravitas Recordings with a dual single on March 8th leading up to his beautiful album.  Inspired by the sleep cycle, the flow of the album is somewhat symmetrical. Many songs have counterparts directly across the album, specifically “Summer Night” and “Winter Light”.  These songs were written from the same project files using shared sonic palettes, and are intended to be listened together for the full experience.  “Winter Light / Summer Night” showcases a sneak preview into a contemplative journey through To The Tide’s unique and immersive sound. Float away to these special tracks with us.

‘Winter Light’ opens with dreamy vocal chops, with distant percussion slowly filtering in with a stabby synth melody.  It quickly drops into an immersive broken beat groove and heavy 808s while still holding the original beauty, ending with a surreal half-time drop switch-up that will melt you away.  ‘Summer Night’ brings back a 2-step broken beat groove and emotive vocal chops, adding in more synths and building upon this contemplative emotion To The Tide has created.  It follows a similar format with a half-time second drop, adding live world bass influences and a beautiful end to the reflective journey.

“Whether you’re a musician, a surfer, or a dancer, we’re all familiar with the ‘flow state’, and my hope is that this album will help the listener zone out and tap into this state.” – To The Tide
