Album Review: Tidal Peak unveils the breathtaking beauty of ‘Treasurville’ – a dreamy evocation of sunshine and vast oceans with a glittering melancholia. Capricorn Coast band Tidal Peak , essentially the work of musician/producer Kyle Lacko, has just released an expansive, glittering album entitled 'Treasureville'. It's a collection of sparkling gems that seem to take inspiration from the glittering sun-soaked environment where it was written. Opening with 'Capricorntown', the geographic connection is evident. A swell of synths and strings create a vast open vista before gently delayed guitars spring up as a percussive beat builds up, underpinning the euphoric lift.

Track: Capricorn Coast band Tidal Peak release the shimmering, glittering ‘Coasting’ ahead of album ‘Treasureville’. 'Coasting', the new single from Capricorn Coast band Tidal Peak, glitters and shimmers in the firmament like an aurora folding and moving amongst the stars. It is an ethereal track that is immersive and enchanting and filled with a dream pop/shoegaze aura. Essentially the work of musician/producer Kyle Lacko, the sound is like a delicious blend of Cocteau Twins and Ride, luscious and rich sounds with distant dreamy vocals crossing the gently rippling surface of instrumentation, featuring an ambulant melodic bass and crystalline guitars.

Why do we make Christmas ornaments with little or no cultural significance? Here’s my first prototype gumnut ornament to replace the turned acorns we often see produced!
