High Tide’s self-titled follow-up dials back some of Sea Shanties’ feral heaviness in favor of a more expansive, and occasionally melancholic approach—though it’s still plenty heavy. With just three long songs, the album leans into improvisation and mood, blending prog rock complexity with a lingering sense of unease. It’s less overtly brutal than their debut, but no less bold—like watching a thunderstorm from a distance rather than being caught inside it seems like a proper summation.
1984 UK reissue from a label called Psycho Records. I literally stumbled across this today at a shop called Daybreak Records in Seattle. Fantastic shop and an excellent pressing that I did not expect to find in the wild, ever. This record has been as elusive as it gets for me and this copy is supreme tits.
