Tidal Sleep, The
Be Kind Ep
The four songs on this one-sided 12" were recorded during the sessions for their latest full length LP, but upon listening it becomes clear that The Tidal Sleeps trademark post-hardcore sound has been further expanded to a level that easily gives these tracks the power to stand for their own. Filled to the brim with interesting songwriting ideas beyond the beaten paths and incorporating an array of elements that range from furious blast-beat drumming to introspective clean singing and atmospheric intricacy, "Be Kind" is a manifest of The Tidal Sleeps status as a fan favorite that will appeal to anyone who is into emotive (Post-)Hardcore in the vein of Touch Amor, At The Drive-In or Birds in Row. This is the 100th release on This Charming Man Records, and The Tidal Sleep have been a part of the journey almost all the way from the beginning.
