Thanya Iyer - Tide/Tied [LP 'Into The Water' Blue/White Galaxy Vinyl OBI insert sticker]

On her third full-length TIDE/TIED, Montreal artist Thanya Iyer expands on the future-folk designs of sophomore album KIND with washes of jazz-inflected pop and ensemble ambience. While Iyer explored a more personal journey of self-love on KIND, she, her band, and cohort of guest musicians embark on a new way of moving on TIDE/TIED, prizing collective care and communal healing as antidotes to the dissonances of living in a colonial, capitalistic world. Over twelve tracks, Iyer alternates song, synth layer, strings, and loop substance, interfixing with percussionist Daniel Gelinas's meditative drumming and multi-instrumentalist Pompey's adventurous arrangements. Through a deeply collaborative process, Gelinas and Pompey - themselves experienced producers - created the powerful and intricate worldscapes of TIDE/TIED, guided by Iyer's incisive musical vision, all the while maintaining a cohesive, collective approach to the creative process.
