When I got to see Emily Breeze live in concert for the first time last February, I was mightily impressed by support act Mumble Tide, in spite of a cluster of 'scenester' assholes near the front who talked (well, shouted) through most of their set.
I vowed to get Mumble Tide's back catalogue at the next Bandcamp Friday and hoped that I would get to see them perform live again.
Well, it's another Bandcamp Friday this week and, even better, Mumble Tide's debut album os out on 1st April and available for pre-order. They're also playing at SWX in Bristol as part of the Ritual Union event on 29th March, with a further date in London in May followed by a UK tour in October and November.
Mumble Tide released Pea Soup a couple of weeks ago, the third single/preview from the album Might As Well Play Another One. I've included the videos for the other two, The Rails and album title track (more or less) MAWPAO.
(The #BlogCon25 massive may be particularly impressed by the taster of The Galleries shopping centre and Cabot Circus car park ahead of their gathering in Bristol in June)
It's fair to say that Gina Leonard and Ryan Rogers have transcended their self-described "Bristol bedroom pop" and created something quite wonderful. I'm looking forward to hearing the album.
