More about: Mumble Tide

Bedroom-pop duo Mumble Tide have just released their newest single, ‘Noodle’, the final track to be released from their upcoming mini-album Everything Ugly, which is set for release 3 December on Nothing Fancy.

‘Noodle’ has been a raucous staple of their recent live shows, with plenty of loud guitar and a feedback effect that the pair said they got from a couple of toy walkie-talkies. Although there’s a lot going on when you dig a bit deeper, Mumble Tide explain that the primary inspiration came from a pet name for vocalist Gina Leonard’s “abnormally long neck”:

“During the last string of gigs we played, I told the audiences that this song was solely written and inspired by my neck (which Ryan reckons is abnormally long and has adopted ‘Noodle’ as a kind of pet name) but really there’s a bit more going on. I think in life, I have a tendency to pick things apart until they’re a bit of a mess and Noodle paints an accurate picture of my heavily conflicted and rather ridiculous thought patterns. I guess it’s for people that don’t find it easy to relax and just be happy in themselves and where they’re at. There’s still a good dose of fun and silliness in there though, and a healthy awareness of the fact I tend to twist things way out of shape”.

Everything Ugly arrives 03 December.
