Release Notes:
--------
This is the the band's sixth studio outing and follow-up to 2006's brilliant HOW
WE OPERATE. A NEW TIDE marks a return to the alwaysfreewheeling British band's
more experimental roots, with songs like "Win Park Slope" and "Airstream Driver"
evincing a spirit born of boundless imagination and a longstanding collaborative
relationship. With the band members now scattered across two continents, from
Brooklyn to Brighton, England, early tracks were written and recorded
individually and then merged online. The process allowed for an open and
adaptive songwriting approach, the material taking on its ultimate shape when
Gomez offi cially convened in studios in Chicago and Charlottesville, VA, with
producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine, Counting Crows). As ever, a
wide range of styles is incorporated into Gomez'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 (of Stars/Broken Social Scene fame), bassist Josh Abrams (The Roots,
Sam Prekop, Godspeed You Black Emperor!), cellist Oliver Krauss (David Gray,
Paul Weller, Beth Orton), and multi-instrumentalist Stuart Bogie of Brooklyn's
world renowned Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra.
