A part or apart? Both! The songs on the new Tidemore album "a-part" are as diverse as the title. Brothers Matthias and Andreas Pietsch reflect on the major issues of our time. From the perspective of two men who have grown up, they illuminate the state of the world and seek balance within it. A journey through the boundaries between the familiar and the foreign. Building on the idiosyncratic acoustic sound that regularly captivates their listeners, the brothers break new ground musically with the album "a-part." Clearly, what you hear is Tidemore, yet a new tone prevails. The instrumentation, essentially reduced to guitars and piano, is placed in a larger context. For the first time, they place a majority of the eleven new songs on a powerful foundation of drums and bass, occasionally adding an electric guitar. In between, restrained, purely acoustic pieces shimmer as special gems. This variety creates an exciting dynamic from the first to the last note.
They were able to enlist the outstanding musicians Florian Holoubek, Thomsen Slowey Merkel and Karsten Lipp as wonderfully sensitive guest musicians. The brothers have once again played their strongest card on their new album: they simply know how to write catchy songs. They have these magnificent melodies whose beauty immediately captivates you. Sometimes it's the vocals, sometimes a guitar line. There is hardly a song in which you have to wait long for this shining highlight. And they have by no means dispensed with their trademark choral singing. Tidemore has not reinvented itself, but has consistently developed further. The result is the most diverse Tidemore album to date. "a-part" contains everything from short songs to magnificent anthems. It taps into big emotions and yet is never trivial.
