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. Produced by Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine, Counting Crows) A New Tide was recorded studios in both Chicago and Charlottesville, Va. As ever, a wide range of styles is incorporated into Gomez's matchless musical brew. Flavours of Delta blues, psychedelia, and Krautrock all come into play, resulting in a musically mischievous and remarkably forward-thinking collection. In short, A New Tide is Gomez at their inimitable, incomparable best. A New Tide also sees Gomez accompanied by a number of illustrious guest musicians, including vocalist Amy Milan (of Stars/Broken Social Scene fame), bassist Josh Abrams (The Roots, Sam Prekop, Godspeed You Black Emperor!), cellist Oliver Krauss (David Gray, Paul Weller, Beth Orton), and multi-instrumentalist Stuart Bogie of Brooklyn's world renowned Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra. Gomez has stood apart from their very beginning just over a decade ago, earning critical praise and an ever-growing fanbase for their eclectic and ambitious musical tack.
