Tiny Tide
The Ronta EP

In the sea of the national indie scene committed to singing in English, after various Ex-Otago, Le Man Avec Le Lunettes, and Les Fauves, another one tries with a strange CD. Very yellow. The writings (in very red instead) clearly indicate "Tiny Tide - The Ronta EP". Let’s give this a listen too.

The EP consists of five tracks. The CD, handmade in craftsmanship though graphically well-curated, lasts just over 10 minutes. The first track ("Girls") is actually a sort of introduction to the small "G-Centric" concept (all the tracks start with the letter "G", if not with the word "Girl").

The single - "Girls From Ronta" - is the apotheosis of the classic parish-disco rock "volemosebene" Swedish style, with tempestuous lapping of glockenspiel, acoustic guitars layered like molasses, very "Pling-Plong" electronic rhythms. The difference is decidedly made by the choirs and violin, which could associate Tiny Tide to an updated version of Gorky's Zygotic Mynci. On a good day.

Track number 3 is spectacular. The same song, but in an electronic version, by the Flemish Da Wikked, who has already remixed the Italians Clever Square.

The last two tracks are covers. "Go Ego Go", by the Swedes Lacrosse, and an English remake of "Nino" by the Mexican electropop group Belanova. A pleasant change of register. Setting aside the more indie-tronic sounds, a bit of healthy handmade rock, with a violin consistently present and inspired.

What can we say. The appetizer is definitely appetizing. We await the main course with our mouths watering.
