Read about the upcoming new album by
Tidelands in this week’s edition of the San
Francisco Bay Guardian
The San Francisco-based duo Tidelands will release its sophomore album We’ve Got A Map on August
7th. The album’s first single and video “The New Black” is streaming now. We’ve Got A Map is the follow-up to
the band’s debut If... released last year.
“We never really stopped after we completed that
record,” says Tidelands vocalist,
guitarist and flugelhorn player Gabriel
Leis. “We were booking three-day sessions six weeks apart all throughout
the summer and fall of 2011.” The key word to describe We’ve Got A Map is
spontaneity,” says Leis’s bandmate,
drummer Mie Araki. “Much of our
current songwriting style is based on this word.”
Leis also notes the new sound of We’ve Got A Map as compared to the
band’s previous album, owing this to his ongoing deliberate effort to create a
more uplifting listen and to get away from the heaviness and headiness of his
natural writing style. “We had moments of that kind of celebratory
joyousness on If..., but this time around I wanted the overall feel of the
record to reflect this attitude,” he explains.
As they had on If..., Leis and Araki once
again collaborated with the Magik*Magik
Orchestra on We’ve Got A Map. “We had
such a successful collaboration with Minna
Choi and the Magik*Magik Orchestra
the last time, we decided to not only work together again, but to invite Minna to produce one of the tracks,” Leis says.
The latest Tidelands
album We’ve Got A Map will be released on August 7th. Tidelands will embark on a tour in
support of the album this summer. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic to talk to the band or for more
information.
