A few years back, I wouldn’t have considered myself a fan of Post Rock. That all changed when I witnessed Tides From Nebula perform live in Gdańsk. Since then, I’ve seen them four times, the first being about seven years ago. Each performance has been an absolute pleasure, both to hear and see.
When they released “Ghost Horses” a few weeks ago, I was thrilled. If the rest of the album matched the quality of its initial singles, we were in for a treat that would soon make waves worldwide.
The album arrived, and it did not disappoint. I love it—definitely another vinyl to add to my collection. Their Electro-Post-Rock evolution is well-executed, with hints of Daft Punk, reminiscent of Tron: Legacy, yet the album retains the unmistakable TFN sound.
Now a trio, Tides From Nebula produced and recorded the album themselves. Guitarist Maciej Karbowski reflects on the process:
“It seems that being a three-piece made us work harder and challenged us to write better music. I’m pretty sure this is one of the reasons the album ended up sounding so rich and epic. Musically and visually this new record is a sidestep for us, which came subconsciously. We just followed our gut feeling and as we were recording in our own studio, we could work on every small detail. I am sure that this album will develop with every listen. We are super curious about the listeners’ reaction.”
Losing a member has evidently fueled their creative drive. This is arguably their most epic work yet, and I can’t wait to see them live again.
They’ll be touring Poland, starting in early November. They are set to play at B90 in Gdańsk on December 6, 2019.
