Asylum Harbour

For their fifth long player, TITE return with a sound that is familiar in its use of distortion, drive, echo and swirling melodies, but refreshed with an embracing of vocal hooks and harmonies, often absent in the world of psyche and shoegaze. It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine: ‘Asylum Harbour,’ named for a maritime safe-haven, symbolizes resurfacing from the darkness of 2022-2023 and the pandemic. (Band leader) John Treanor says the album reflects a journey out of a dark place, focusing on voices and harmonies over layers of fuzz. ‘The record marks, to my mind, a further evolution of the band with the voice(s) becoming a main feature rather than being used as another instrument.’” Jammerzine : “The term ‘shoegaze’ gets thrown around more and more, to the point that it’s beginning to become an assembly line genre, with TITE, and ‘I’m Not Like That’ we get a solid progression of original music with a true purpose. That purpose is to inspire.”
