Obvious

”Enough?” quickly opens up to the sounds which our band is most well known for: wide, warm guitars and a punchy, pocket rhythm section. However, this song pushes the envelope a step further in showcasing vocal range, lyrical depth, and an anthemic hook in the chorus. From start to finish we wanted to give listeners a look inside our battle with anxious feelings towards the future as musicians and artists.

Enough

Enough?

‘TIME’ is the third single since the band’s 2019 debut offering, ‘Snakes’. Of the track, frontman Joe explains; “TIME is an attempt to capture my existential crisis while on lockdown, my life like many others was halted and thrown into some sort of anxiety-induced groundhog day where the weeks pass like days and slip through our fingers, where all we have to do in the present is to reflect on the past and ponder on the fragile new future”.

TIME

Formed in London in 2012, Flowers have released two albums and an increasingly assured string of singles on labels like Fortuna Pop, Kanine, Oddbox, Cloudberry and Where It's At Is Where You Are. Those associations might give you an idea of where they are coming from: beautiful, effecting pop with echoes of C86 indie, post-punk pop, shoegaze, 90s 4AD and even a dash of early Slumberland Records. Far more than just a sum of their influences, they've dazzled pop fans around the world with their distinctively spiky songs and Rachel Kennedy's thrilling, ethereal vocals.

"Erik" is their contribution to Slumberland's SLR30 Singles Series and their first single since 2017. Written about their wayward pet hamster, it's a lovely tune that wouldn't sound out of place on a Belly record, a prime piece of the grungy, fuzzy pop that Flowers are so expert at creating. On the flip, "Candour" is deeper and slower, recalling early SLR groups like Black Tambourine and Henry's Dress, a connection that makes their participation in our singles series all the more appropriate.

Flowers - Candour

By Sam Rakestraw: 
Imagine that you had access to a time machine. You could go anywhere, any place, at any point in time, and do whatever you please. I’m fairly confident there’s one place where most wouldn’t go: 2020. Maybe you’d want to fast forward to whenever this horrible time of Covid uncertainty and loss comes to an end and return to a life free from restrictions. Or, you could go back to the world before the viral trauma when your favorite local restaurant, amusement parks, or theaters weren’t closed. It’s hypothetical, but it’s fun to create that escape. One of Nashville’s newest indie rock bands, Nite Tides, makes that escape to the west coast of the Sunshine State with a 60s pop take in their debut track, “Forever Baby.”

Born and raised in San Diego, Ryan Poole made the musical pilgrimage to Nashville to work in recording. After the move, he spent the next seven years behind the soundboards in the studio mixing, editing, and largely working on other people’s music. Poole, however, found himself idling in the studio one Sunday this summer. 

“It was the Sunday afternoon after the Fourth,” Poole recounted. “I didn’t have anything to do. And I was telling myself, ‘Dude, don’t go into the studio; take a break from work.’ But I just got this bug in my head. I wanted to do a song that was kind of surfy for a long time,” he remembers.  

The retro sounding song about escaping to the Golden State beaches for surfing, away from a sickly world, influenced the project name, “Nite Tides,” as Poole brought some of his buddies on. What was intended to be a day of messing around in the studio developed into a 100-hour project.

“Forever Baby” begins with an overture of guitar. They sound violent at first, as the strings are aggressively tugged at. It’s almost like the section of The Beatles’ A Day in the Life, where the instruments sound as if they’re winding up for an ear-splitting roar. But that roar never comes. Out of the blue comes a tropical guitar and ukulele melody. Whatever image of a growing storm the listener had in their mind is now replaced by a Californian seaside with towering foaming white waves beckoning to them. Poole sings the verses of escaping the current time in a wavy trance-like tone similar to Day Wave. In fact, Poole cites the 2015 indie rock project as one of his influences towards creating this track. 

“The Enneagram test is a personality test like Myers Briggs or anything else,” says Poole, “My particular Enneagram is what they call a seven. Basically, the main thing regarding the seven is having fun, always busying yourself with activities, and trying to avoid pain by having fun and never stopping. This song hits that seven quality in a bunch of ways. Even after its creation, I couldn’t just take a Sunday off and be lazy. I had to do something fun and creative.”

Many of the song’s lyrics were an escape for Poole to write and sing. The rest of the song structures piano and guitar chords to versus that sing, “If I’m not sick and you’re not sick then we’ll head out west where the sunset lives and we’ll ride a wave forever baby.”Those lyrics were what  brought Poole into the studio. From there, he wrote more verses that built on the theme of escaping in the true nature of an Enneagram seven.

“Forever Baby” is Ryan Poole’s time machine to the coast, set in the 60s and a love letter to surfing. It’s an accurate estimate to say that Poole would take his time machine to the San Diego beach circa 1968. “With the idea of Nite Tides, that’s how I’m branding the whole thing. Creating this aesthetic of 60s beach surfers and classic cars (he drives a 64’ Thunderbird). It’s just very much a Beach Boys-like band, and we’re having fun with it. That’s not everything about me; it’s not my whole personality or my whole taste in music, but it is one big part. So, Nite Tides is this compartmentalized part of me—my retro beach side.” #surf #surfrock #janglepop #indiepop#bedroompop#lofi

Just Not Today - The Arosa

Described as “a cross between every laurel canyon band you’ve ever heard, mixed with a healthy helping of acid”, mylittlebrother’s unique mix of 60s pop, rock and garage rock has led to a dedicated fanbase at gigs across the country, and lead to critical acclaim for their 2 albums and their blistering live shows.

Their most recent album Howl, was released in 2020 on L.A’s Big Stir Records to critical acclaim. 2023 has been spent writing the follow up, and honing their live sound by gigging all over the country, including a well received national tour in October, joined by Hector Gannet.

They have had support from Gideon Coe and Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music, with the latter describing Nosedive as “a worthy contender for record of the week”, and further airplay has come on BBC Radio 1, Amazing Radio and local radio across the UK.

mylittlebrother’s eclectic, hard-to-pin-down style has brought invitations to perform with Frank Turner, Glasvegas and Juniore, and has lead to dozens of festival appearances including headlining stages at Kendal Calling,Wild On The Wall and Haddstock, as well as a joyous main stage appearance at Solfest. They have also appeared on the line-ups at the Sea Power curated Krankenhaus, ButeFest, EskFest, Haddstock and many more.
