The Restless Tides

The First Album's Bio:

Be taken out on a tide of jangly acoustic Dream Rock, rippling Gypsy Sea Pop, and late night torch songs – sometimes rocking in a stormy sea of driven guitars and sometimes becalmed in ambient laments to Miss Havisham and remembrances of lost time, as envisioned by Paul Andreas Meixner.

Wherever The Restless Tides take us, we go. Depending on the winds, we sound like a late night torch song in an empty ballroom on a 1960's ocean liner. Other times, we are a dream pop jangle perhaps recorded in a Darlinghurst studio in Sydney, 1987. Sometimes, those Restless Tides wash us up playing a Gypsy pop song on a sad, lost beach in the Mediterranean.

Greek gods may be mentioned, with great expectations. Stormy seas may take us on a Rockabilly journey or pitch us on the shores of France during the revolution. Deities, Devils, and Angels playing Telecaster guitars are all sung about.

Sometimes the voices are Sarah Lakshman. Other times, we hear Michelle Boyle.

Climb aboard, and set the sails, for the wind is rising!
