After their recent return with the single Rivers In The Light, Tide Lines can now announce that their new album An Ocean Full Of Islands will be released on February 24th. The album is the follow-up to the successful DIY release Eye of the Storm, which entered the charts at #12 in 2020 and only missed the Top 10 by a handful of sales.
 
Tide Lines launch the album alongside its brand new single Written In the Scars. Listen HERE. Today they also reveal details of a major UK tour set for March 2023, which will see them play some of their biggest headline shows to date including Edinburgh’s Usher Hall and London’s Electric Ballroom. 
 
Collectively, An Ocean Full Of Islands is equally informed by the towering melodic peaks and rousing choruses of rock as it is by the band’s folk heart, with further colour provided with flashes of alt-pop production. Those three elements converge to create a synthesis of three sounds that are rarely unified. And in Robert Robertson, the band possesses a frontman whose voice prospers in whatever context they explore, his rich tone able to reach soaring, soulful highs.
 
He says, “An Ocean Full Of Islands is bigger in terms of the sound. Every track, as I sat down to write it, I thought: I really want this to be the next single. There are still highs and lows – but there are a lot more highs!”
  
Recently, Tide Lines completed the National Lottery’s Revive Live Tour of England in association with the Music Venue Trust, while other summer highlights have included Doune The Rabbit Hole, the Belladrum Festival, and an Edinburgh Castle show with Deacon Blue. They are currently on an extensive sold-out Town Hall Tour of Scotland, which calls at grassroots locations rarely visited by touring bands. 

They will play at the Irish Centre in Leeds on March 24th 2023.
