The Person - Tide Life (GBR031) by growing bin records published on 2021-01-04T09:14:07Z After the heaviest of years, it should be time to take a little weight off with the playful sounds of The Person. Mapping its own Bermuda Triangle between dub-pop, sugary synthwave and Balearic boogie, ‘Tide Life’ transports Compass Point to Soggy Bottom, providing maximum fun, sun and bitmap escapism. The eagle-eared may recognise The Person from the aspirational Italo-rockers Steaming Jeans, whose chalet-ready romp on Bordello A Parigi scored a Winter Olympic gold back in early 2020. Now left to her own devices, Minna Wight swaps the slopes for a jet ski and takes a Wave Race from Summer Bay to Monkey Island across 11 cuts of vintage oddball pop. Whether she’s borrowing Brenda’s Beach Balls for the dubby daydream of ‘Snail Cafe’ and ‘The Place’, serving lost library cues to SNES club scenes on ‘Barry R Reef’ and ‘Elastic Shoes’ or spinning high school slow jams into synth soul ballads like ‘Nice Feeling’, Minna disguises serious musicianship behind a naive aesthetic. Disarmed by charm, we’re powerless to resist her tidal pull. words by Patrick Ryder Genre Sugary Synthwave Contains tracks The Person 01 Snail Cafe (shortened Clip) by growing bin records published on 2021-01-04T09:14:06Z The Person 02 The Place (shortened Clip) by growing bin records published on 2021-01-04T09:14:05Z The Person 03 Nice Feeling (shortened Clip) by growing bin records published on 2021-01-04T09:14:04Z The Person 04 Tide Life (shortened Clip) by growing bin records published on 2021-01-04T09:14:03Z The Person 05 Barry R Reef (shortened Clip) by growing bin records published on 2021-01-04T09:14:02Z
