Sunny Day Real Estate – “The Rising Tide” Double LP
The fourth album from this highly revered Seattle based indie-rock/emo band of the 1990s. Released in 2001, The Rising Tide always felt like an under-appreciated album, and unlike the three Sub Pop albums of the 90s, it seemed to slip under the radar (due in part to a lack of promotion by the near-bankrupt label, Time Bomb Recordings). Recorded in late 1999 with Lou Giordano (Sugar, Moving Targets, SSD, DYS etc.) not long after the band had reformed as a trimmed-down three piece. It is an grandiose album with an other-wordly sound, heavily reminiscent of classic 70’s prog, but with the addition of Enigk’s unique, soaring, vocal style and impressive song writing skills.
