Defiance (Radio Edit)

This song holds a special place in my heart (Martin Hovden) as it's the first of many collaborations with Nixi Music and Txai Fernando as co-producer.

"The Void" marks a departure from our punk rock phase, bringing a tighter production and a 70's rock vibe with less distortion. It's one of the three songs written at the beginning of this project and one of my personal favorites lyrically.

Looking forward to sharing this piece with you all. In the meantime, enjoy "Defiance", just released in late July. Have a great summer!

The Void: Set in the bleak corners of society, "The Void" delves into the lives of the marginalized and overlooked. Its verses speak to the silence and invisibility of those who live on the fringes, while the chorus emphasizes the necessity of acknowledging and addressing their pain and presence.

Imperfection

"Blind and Arrogant" by Digital Noise is an electrifying drum and bass track produced by Papa J & Tidal Water. This high-energy release combines pulsating basslines, intricate breakbeats, and atmospheric synths to create a captivating sonic experience. Despite its genre, the track maintains a relatively slow pace, adding to its angsty and introspective vibe. The spoken word lyrics, penned by Martin Hovden, offer a self-aware and comedic commentary on his inflated ego. With lines like "Strutting like he’s the king of the ring" and "In his bubble, a supreme beam," the track humorously reflects on the author's own grandiosity and the gap between perception and reality.

Set to drop on August 30th, 2024, "Blind and Arrogant" showcases the innovative sound and production prowess of "Digital Noise". The cover art, featuring the author in a jester's costume in a boxing ring, perfectly encapsulates the track's theme of self-reflection and satire. This track is recommended to fans of electronic and bass music who appreciate a blend of humor and introspection.

"Miami" is a slow-paced, haunting synth track that transports listeners to the vibrant yet dangerous streets of 1980s Miami. With its evocative lyrics and atmospheric melody, the song captures the duality of the city's nightlife—underneath the pink neon lights lies a world of drugs, dancing, and deadly violence. The collaboration with Jim Lehner brings an authentic '80s feel to the production, blending nostalgic synths with contemporary electronic elements.

“The Tidal Water strips things back in their hauntingly elegant take on 'Shadow on the Wall' – turning space into a sonic instrument of its own.”

Shadow On The Wall

Today we release High Rise Towers & Golden Showers—and I say 'mourn' because this song is a lament for the crumbling 'American Dream.'

It's about the suffocating weight of a social ladder that seems built to collapse, the debts that pile up regardless of education or effort, and the false promises dangled in front of those who struggle every single day.

This one is for the fighters, the dreamers, and the weary. Do we really have a chance? Let this song be a moment of reflection.

Hope it sparks thought. Peace.



High Rise Towers & Golden Showers

The Tidal Water is a dynamic band blending the rich heritage of rock with the spirited rhythms from '60s until now, with elements of funk, punk, blues, rock and hints of jazz. Our debut album, "Polarity," offers a musical odyssey from introspective ballads to explosive punkish anthems, tackling societal issues across a tapestry of sound that echoes six decades of musical evolution.

Under the lead of our main producer Martin Hovden, Leif Johansen and Txai Fernando mix and/or co-produce songs for "Polarity".

Renato Anesi, our skilled guitarist and bassist, lays down complex riffs and dual bass lines for the record that form one of the backbones of our signature sound. And when veterans like Markus Matland on keys, and Jim Lehner on drums come together, their diverse talents infuse our music with fresh and soul-stirring energies.

As we gear up to release "Polarity," we invite fans to join our journey through the singles we plan to release monthly, offering a direct connection through updates and exclusive previews through Social media and our website.
