'Tempered Tides' is the highly anticipated debut single from Leeds acoustic rock group Tranqua Lite.
The band launched the track last week, with an electric gig at Leeds' Belgrave Music Hall and Canteen.
The song opens with peppy drums and a sweet guitar melody before welcoming ebullient counter-melodies, producing an upbeat, intricate sound. The interwoven melodies create an exciting, almost tropical vibe, which gives the song bags of character and makes it super easy to dance along to.
The bass line packs a herculean punch, elevating the song into an uber catchy track. This is coupled with front-man Ben Marcano-Oliver's chilled vocals, giving the song a full bodied yet balanced sound.
The highlight of the track is the instrumental jam before the final chorus, which radiates this energetic, bold sound. I'm envisaging a paisley clad audience throwing some serious shapes to this gorgeous explosion of audial vigour.
Overall, it's a really refreshing track. It's clear that the band is composed of some really talented musicians and they're not just churning out easy 'four-chord wonders'. Their sound is distinctive and imaginative, and 'Tempered Tides' is undoubtedly a crowd pleaser.
They've managed to produce something really clever and unique, without being pretentious or inaccessible. The combination of soft angelic harmonies with beefy, bold bass lines creates this wonderful three-dimensional sound that's just an absolute pleasure to listen to.
There's definitely a gap in the scene for a band like Tranqua Lite and I can't wait to hear more from them.
