Tidebound is the solo-<br \/>\nproject of Dave Mu\u0308ller, who has a background in heavier and noisier<br \/>\nterritory with the bands Black Wreath, Chasing Eudaimonia and The<br \/>\nEudaimonia Collective, but who, with Tidebound, takes the role of<br \/>\nsole songwriter and vocalist for the first time. The EP features a<br \/>\nnumber of guests including Laura Noszczyk (Solyara, Aex, Ex-<br \/>\nMachinery of Joy, ex-Yellowish) and Tanja V. Jessen (Distortion<br \/>\nGirls, Flowers of Yes!, etc.). Tanja also recorded and mixed the songs and has added a slightly more polished feel to the otherwise homespun feel and intentionally DIY quality of the songs.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike any other of Mu\u0308ller\u2019s projects, Tidebound has its roots in folk music, but the inspirations that paved the way for his other projects still shine through. These are songs of lost love and hope, distressful desolation, yearning for freedom and the acceptance of solitude; themes not uncommon to the folk genre, The sometimes hazy vocals and the underlying psychedelic instrumentation give Tidebound a sound of its own, but with clear links to ancestors like Townes van Zandt, Mount Eerie, Marissa Nadler Songs: Ohia and even Leonard Cohen. The six songs on the EP range from the momento mori of first track \u201cUnder the Horned Moon\u201d, where added Fender Rhodes and flute augument the darkly atmospheric track, over protest-song \u201cThe Enemy\u201d, about the Danish reactions to the \u201crefugee crisis\u201d of 2015, to the swooning, mythological scope of \u201cFirst Morning\u201d. The EP is closed by longtime liveset closer \u201cBlack River\u201d, a song about loss in different forms on which Tanja V. Jessen adds cathartic final bursts of noise guitar.<\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\">\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Danish music magazine Gaffa\u2019s online edition have previously written about a live show:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Their own style is not unlike Canadian Mount Eerie in the hypnotic acoustic guitar melodies, with a weird, almost seasick sense of melody, which through repetition and echo-effects is used to create extended soundscapes. Mu\u0308ller is joined by organist Laura Noszczyk whose backup-vocals adds an otherworldly glow to Mu\u0308ller\u2019s melancholic universe. In spite of the simplicity of the music Tidebound commands a high degree of concentration from the audience as a consequence of the purity of the vision, which runs through the project.&#8221;<\/em> &#8211; Simon Hesselager Johansen | GAFFA (own translation)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>The lead track &#8220;Under the Horned Moon&#8221; premiered on Psych-folk radio show The Unquiet Meadow in February and a release show in Copenhagen is planned for the 9th of March.

The opener &#8220;<span class=\"song\">Under The Horned Moon&#8221;<\/span>\u00a0takes you by surprise with its halting attitude, which is actually quite the modus operandi of Tidebound.\u00a0<span class=\"song\">The Enemy<\/span>\u00a0is a short and angry protest song about the plight that refugees have to go through before they arrive in a safe country, and how people turn their fear into hatred. Some distorted guitar parts underline the artist\u2019s disillusion at many of his compatriots.\u00a0<span class=\"song\">All Love Is Unrequited<\/span>\u00a0comes with a flute part and is simply beautiful, reminding of very early Pink Floyd or Syd Barrett solo endeavours.\u00a0<span class=\"song\">Cities Now In Ruins<\/span>\u00a0is a very sparse track with pleasant backing vocals, and on\u00a0<span class=\"song\">First Morning<\/span>, the minimalist approach goes on, and maybe due to a lack of memorable melody, this is the only track I don\u2019t really get into. The EP ends with\u00a0<span class=\"song\">Black River<\/span>, starting out slow and then ending in an unexpected rousing way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"review\">I am not really that much of an lo-fi indie folk fan, but when it\u2019s done well, I really appreciate it. Dave M\u00fcller did a tremendous job on his first label released EP, and one hopes that more will follow soon. Fans of dark folk music (Mount Eerie, Songs: Ohia,&#8230;) will be delighted by this short journey through the artist\u2019s bleak visions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gfrock.dk\/tidebound-black-river-and-other-bodies-of-water-ep\/\">GFrock.dk<\/a> (4\/6) in danish:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Det musikalske udgangspunkt er folk \u2013 af den mere rugende og ildevarslende slags. [&#8230;] M\u00fcller lyder ind i mellem som en reciterende Steen J\u00f8rgensen eller en knap s\u00e5 dybr\u00f8stet Leonard Cohen p\u00e5 EP\u2019ens seks numre, hvor tempoet aldrig bev\u00e6ger sig over det langsomme.<\/p>\n<p>Det er m\u00e5ske ogs\u00e5 der, man kan blive udfordret p\u00e5\u00a0Black River and Other Bodies of Water. Hvis man ikke har t\u00e5lmodighed til de 4-5 minutter lange numre, som ikke kaster sig ud i nogen pludselige temposkift overhovedet, s\u00e5 er man nok skr\u00e6mt v\u00e6k inden man er n\u00e5et fra den dunkelt dr\u00f8mmende \u00e5bner \u2018Under the Horned Moon\u2019 til \u2018Enemy\u2019, der falder som andet nummer \u2013 og er det mest uptempo p\u00e5 albummet.<\/p>\n<p>Holder man ved, er der til geng\u00e6ld noget at hente. For selv om M\u00fcller ingenlunde er begavet med en stor stemme, s\u00e5 fungerer hans reciterende stil, fordi hans vokal s\u00e6ttes godt i scene (ligesom nyere Sort Sol rammer Steen J\u00f8rgensens ru vokal ind, eller f\u00f8rn\u00e6vnte Cohen, uden direkte sammenligninger i \u00f8vrigt). Det g\u00f8res den blandt andet ved det akustiske guitarspil, og s\u00e5 kvindevokalerne [&#8230;], der dukker op som n\u00e6rmest overjordiske elementer og sv\u00e6ver omkring M\u00fcller\u2019s vokal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Release date: 9th of March 2018 Dendron Records: DDR062 (Vinyl, download) Woodland Recordings: WR0??
