"Low Tides" is a story about finding our way through our lowest moments with the quiet strength and hope needed to carry us forward when everything feels impossible. It's about waiting for the tides to turn as we move through the feeling that nothing will get better, with the freeze, despair, numbness, and stagnation that often come with it. Living in those spaces is so scary because you lose your ability to dream and imagine that something different can be possible. All we have left to do is trust.

Future-folk machinations meld with syncopated pop on lead single "Low Tides", building on previous efforts Pitchfork described as "a lucid daydream that's constantly melting at its edges." Although it's a navigation of our lowest moments, Iyer's band is brilliant on "Low Tides", featuring live member Emilie Kahn, whose instrumentation adds celestial revelry to the song's restrained triumph over an intense trial.
