Thanya Iyer, the experimental-pop sensation hailing from Montreal, is making waves with the announcement of her third album, *TIDE/TIED*, hot on the heels of her 2020 sophomore smash, *KIND*. And she's not just teasing us - she's dropping a bombshell with the surreal single "Low Tides" that'll leave you reeling.
Iyer spills her guts about the track, revealing that it's a gut-wrenching tale of finding our way through the darkest depths of despair, clinging to the faintest glimmer of hope when everything seems utterly hopeless. She talks about waiting for the tides to turn as we wade through the suffocating quicksand of hopelessness, feeling like nothing will ever get better, trapped in a frozen wasteland of numbness and stagnation. It's the stuff of nightmares, folks because when you're in that hell, you lose the ability even to dream that something different could be possible. All that's left is to trust, even when it feels impossible.
The sound itself is a whirlwind of chaos, mirroring the turmoil within, but Iyer's voice shines through like a beacon in the darkness, guiding us to safety. She's got an all-star lineup backing her up, with percussionist Daniel Gélinas pounding out the beats and multi-instrumentalist Pompey weaving magic with the arrangements. And if that wasn't enough, live member Emilie Kahn joins the fray, adding an otherworldly aura that'll send shivers down your spine.
"Low Tides" is just the beginning, a tantalizing taste of what's to come on *TIDE/TIED*. Thanya Iyer is a force to be reckoned with, a trailblazer in the experimental-pop scene who's not afraid to bare her soul and take us on a journey through the darkest recesses of the human experience. So buckle up, folks, because this ride is going to be wild, and Iyer is at the helm, ready to steer us through the storm.
