Albumette

Copied directly from Bandcamp:

Pōneke/ Wellington jangle / surf / fuzz-pop sextet Tidal Rave have return with the snazzily titled “Albumette”, which follows their 2020 album "Heart Screams".

"Albumette" was primarily written during the seemingly never-ending 2020 lockdown era, exploring such pertinent topics as "police incompetence, problematic capitalism, disconnection and in-between spaces." It was recorded by Lee Prebble and Andrew Downes at Newtown's fabled Surgery, and mastered by Mike Gibson at Munki.

The recording sounds darker and heavier on “Albumette”, and the bands song-writing mixes echoes of the kind of hard-edged driving post-punk rock of Vivian Girls with the melodic flair of Dead Famous People, and the jangling energy of Look Blue, Go Purple.
