Prides – A Mind Like the Tide: Part One
A Mind Like the Tide: Part One is well worth the wait for fans of the Glasgow synth-pop band
You wait years for a Prides album then two come along almost at once. A Mind Like the Tide: Part One, with part two soon to follow, is well worth the wait for fans of the Glasgow synth-pop band. Callum Wiseman and Stewart Brock have been in a self-imposed exile but are now ready to emerge with the new music they've been working on.
At just seven songs long it's a short album, and this is likely why a second is in the pipeline. Lead single Let's Stay in Bed All Day dropped at the beginning of September – it's full of the kind of breezy hooks the band is known for, and both it and You're the Drug are custom-built for the dancefloor. Showing there is much more to the duo than just pop bangers, I Know That I Can Change and Sweet Time show a more vulnerable and introspective side to their songwriting.
The tracks on A Mind Like the Tide may not quite match up to the punch of Out of the Blue or Messiah from 2015 debut The Way Back Up, but it’s an album fans in particular will love, and it certainly whets the appetite for part two in 2018.
