"The Time, The Tide" originally appeared on Blind Orbits' ‘The Time, The Tide' EP in September 2023
This "sonic collective" have worked with Wu-Tang affiliate Killah Priest and describe "The Time, The Tide" as "..a sweeping, Shoegaze journey guided by the dreamy vocals of Martin and Lara Orton as they navigate Matt Flood's reverb-drenched guitars, Dave Speedy's bass grooves, and precision drum work by Ciaran Corkerry. .."
"I guess hypnosis is part of what they are aiming for and how they create this impression and very good they are at it too. The three instrumentalists give the impression of having honed their capacity to lock in together & keep the groove going without forcing it or grandstanding (which as readers will know tends to get high marks from me). The guest vocalists respond to this & fit their contributions in effectively: not just at the technical level but in adding to the overall feel. Contemplating eternity (as they do), requires a certain soundscape and they all achieve something which suggests objectivity, reflection and even a sort of blissed-out mood without slipping into a reverie nor tedium which is a big danger for artists playing with these tempos."
