Album Notes & Community Reviews

Zach Condon scales back the world-music influences for a more personal, pop-oriented sound on 'The Rip Tide'. The album features his signature brass arrangements but anchors them with piano and synthesizer. It is a concise, melancholy, and beautifully crafted collection of songs.
