A NEW TIDE marks a return to the always free-wheeling British band’s more experimental roots, with songs like “Win Park Slope,” and “Airstream Driver” evincing a spirit born of boundless imagination and a long-standing collaborative relationship. A wide range of styles is incorporated into a NEW TIDE’S matchless musical brew. Flavors 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, bassist Josh Abrams, cellist Oliver Krauss, and multi-instrumentalist Stuart Bogie of Brooklyn’s world-renowned Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra.
