After much excitement following the release of their single "Waves", the USA based dream wave duo Lunar Twin are releasing their new Night Tides EP through iconic Texas-based dreampop-shoegaze label Moon Sounds Records. This release is sure to appeal to fans of Nick Cave, Mark Lanegan, David Sylvian and Massive Attack.
This is the band's third significant release, following their debut self-titled EP (2014) on Lunar Industry Records, the duo's own imprint, and Champagne Remixes (2015) through German boutique label Emerald & Doreen Records. The EP literally flows from beginning to end, taking listeners on a journey through lush downtempo, synth and chill wave, and ultimately to the ocean at night. Tracks "Waves", "Coral Sea" and "Blood Moon" seamlessly blend indie electronica and tropical noir, while synth and chill-wave are at their best on "Prayers Of Smoke", "Birds Of Paradise" and "Night Tides".
Vocalist/songwriter Bryce Boudreau dexplains about the new EP: "For this EP, we wanted to to channel the spirit of the primordial world and a lost island in the equatorial night feeling. The dense warm air smelling of flowers beneath a canopy of banyan trees. "Waves" is about drifting between two worlds – the primeval and the technological, and between Earth and Water spirits."
Multiinstrumentalist Chris Murphy adds: "We both live thousands miles apart separated by the Pacific Ocean and miles of mountains and desert. These totally different places of isolation are the nexus of our songwriting. The ocean plays a big part in this album. The ebb and flow of the tide and the effect the moon has on it."
