Listen To Tidal Rave's Debut Album 'Heart Screams'

Pōneke six-piece Tidal Rave have at last revealed their debut album “Heart Screams”, following through on the winning promise of recent singles ‘FOMO’, ‘Dark Wizard’ and ‘Slow/ Fast’. Showcasing nine garage-pop tunes overflowing with jangly guitars and vintage organ sounds, the team of Emmie Ellis, Esther Gedye Taylor, Kristen Paterson, Ann-Marie Keating, Frank Eggleton and Scott Hakkaart‘s record conjures a windswept gothic mystique reminiscent at times of The Terminals, while kicking up a storm and tugging at heart strings on such rollicking numbers as ‘Speed Of Sound’ and the title track. You can join Tidal Rave celebrating their album’s release at this Sunday’s absolutely rammed Newtown Festival.

Wellington based six-piece band Tidal Rave continues a New Zealand (and Australasian) tradition of dark, compelling guitar and keyboard lead garage rock. There’s something slightly claustrophobic and unsettling at times about the churning dense weave of the three guitars and bass backed by ghostly organ and insistent drum pulse.

Add the character provided by the interchange between three songwriter-guitarist-vocalists, one with distinctive vibrato reminiscent of The Terminals’ ominous baritone proclamations, and it’s possible to imagine this album as the product of another era.

Tidal Rave started out of bedroom jam sessions in a Nikau St flat in the inner-Wellington suburb of Newtown, developing into 6-piece band which released a self-titled EP in 2017 and toured NZ and Melbourne, Australia.

“Heart Screams” is the band’s first album. The 9 tracks by guitarist-songwriters Ellis, Gedye Taylor, and Paterson, woven together with backing vocals by keyboard player Keating, are alternately dark and euphoric; universal themes touching on inner hopes and anxieties, external threats (real and imagined), all set against the monotony of day to day living in the narrow streets of NZ’s wind-rattled capital city.

Tidal Rave include members of Sweaty Betty, Kittentank, Echo Beach and Housewitches in a stellar lineup that features no less than three women playing loud guitars, driven by a tight rhythm section. With all the hallmark melody, chime and squall of excellent indie rock.
