Tideup :: "Beaches" and "Walk"

Orlando's Tideup take their slow-drive electro-pop out to the backyard and let it drift on the surface of an in-ground pool. Both singles, "Beaches" and "Walk" are bedroom jams, full of sparkling lo-fi loops and taut drums. Vocalist, Noelle Indovino shimmers and shakes in a distant, full-bloom fecundity, backed by the instrumental architecture of her collaborator, Ben Guzman. It's a night drive through a suburbia with no zoning laws; it's the terrible beauty of the afternoon strip mall, the subdivision, the backyard and all that lies beyond.
