The EP features two remixes by \u003cstrong\u003ePye Corner Audio\u003c\/strong\u003e, who has made new shapes out of ‘\u003cem\u003eAidan\u003c\/em\u003e’ and ‘\u003cem\u003eMorning Bell\u003c\/em\u003e’; the former with a harder, Suicide-style approach, the latter expanding on the almost ambient nature of the original and elevating it. “This version of ‘\u003cem\u003eAidan\u003c\/em\u003e’ found new space, new depths, new melodies and new rhythms,” enthuses singer\/guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eAdam Morrow\u003c\/strong\u003e. “While the mix of ‘\u003cem\u003eMorning Bell\u003c\/em\u003e’ carries the song into a whole new, mythic place. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I think the EP adds extra layers of depth to the original album. We’re aware that it’s a short record, so having some additional tracks to dive into feels like a way to extend your stay in that space as a listener. There is more waiting down the rabbit hole. Genre collapses a bit, too, which is great.” There’s a Boards Of Canada-style version of ‘\u003cem\u003eNave\u003c\/em\u003e’ by \u003cstrong\u003eMalaphors\u003c\/strong\u003e – aka \u003cstrong\u003eChris Tomsett\u003c\/strong\u003e who, in his Innerstrings guise, spent a couple days wandering around Holy Island filming the stunning trilogy of videos that accompanied the album. The band themselves rework the remaining two tracks. The \u003cstrong\u003ePortside\u003c\/strong\u003e Dub of ‘\u003cem\u003eIona\u003c\/em\u003e’ came from them “sending stems to various effects boxes” and capturing the results, while the \u003cstrong\u003eGuitar Armada\u003c\/strong\u003e version of ‘\u003cem\u003eBig Ships\u003c\/em\u003e’ takes a similarly fun approach, with the band inviting nine acoustic guitar players into the old Muscle Shoals Sound Studio B and recording live to tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“We tried to include as many friends as we possibly could and capture the wall of sound in real time, versus building it up with the studio,” explains \u003cstrong\u003eAdam\u003c\/strong\u003e. “Music is fun, and it feels good to turn the studio into a big tent and invite people in.” The duo have been surprised to have been similarly welcomed into many people’s record collections. “We really didn't imagine that our record made in a little corner of Alabama would have the reach that it's had or find the crowd that seems to have really gotten it,” concludes Adam. “Finding that community is really wonderful.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Cathedral","offers":[{"title":"10'' EP - 'High Tide' Coloured Vinyl","offer_id":57453742948697,"sku":"SDZ-31806","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Sister_Ray_Davies_-_Holy_Island_Baby_-_10-inch_High_Tide_Coloured_Vinyl_-_2026.jpg?v=1772723825","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/sister-ray-davies-holy-island-baby-10-ep-high-tide-coloured-vinyl","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
