Things are starting to heat up for London dream-pop duo, high jump!
Today marks the release of their third single, “Tide Away,” and like its predecessors, it is not one to be missed!
Featuring Jamie Maier and released via Tip Top Recordings, “Tide Away” continues to build upon the duo’s electro/dream-pop sound while pushing the bar a little further. With a beachy, dreamy vibe, “Tide Away” takes listeners on a vivid journey to a happier time.
“Harry started Tide Away at the piano in early 2023 having spent time listening to artists like Frank Ocean and James Blake. Unusually determined to finish the song before getting distracted by production ideas, the track maintained its intimately first-person narrative feel. The melody needed a steely vocal to cut through the subtle arrangement, so Jamie Maier of the band Tungz kindly lent some grit to the offering. In the mixing process, the embryonic piano was replaced by fingerpicked guitars, dueling over an increasingly moody backbeat – inspired by Big Red Machine and Bon Iver – and leaving space for Jamie’s soaring vocal.”
“Lyrically, we drew upon similar themes to our previous single ‘CLIIAL’: over-nostalgia and reconciling our view of the world as children with our view of the world in adulthood. A morning run along the beach during a trip back home was the visceral inspiration for ‘Tide Away’, as it seemed to encapsulate that conflict between the ‘places I remember’ and the range of sentiments they induce.”
