A1. Good 4 Me A2. Sucker A3. Breakfast A4. Too Far Back B1. Everything Ugly B2. Noodle B3. Bulls Eye B4. On My Deathbed There's A Full Page(You Don't Get To Read It) ˜Everything Ugly™ is set to give a front seat view to the self-contained world of Mumble Tide. The duo began when Gina Leonard advertised for a bassist in a Gumtree ad and Ryan Rogers responded; šthe boyfriend part was a bonus›, notes Gina. Their scrappy, chaotic sound is the result of the freedom they feel around one another. From the off, they made clear nothing was out of bounds - nothing was too corny, nothing was too cutesy and nothing was too petulant. That wild abandon was showcased in full force on the singles taken from ˜Everything Ugly™. ˜Breakfast™ opened with the lyrics ševeryone™s an arsehole›, while ˜Sucker, with its blistering, garage-infused guitars, imagined Gina flicking two fingers up at previous baggage and strutting off into the distance. Though perhaps a little more introspective, ˜Good 4 Me™ is no different. Composed on a ˜crap casio keyboard™ bought from a dentist on Facebook Marketplace, ˜Good 4 Me™ also features sparkly synths, trumpets and, in their own words, ˜a stupid guitar solo™. With ˜On My Deathbed There's A Full Page (You Don't Get To Read It) Gina takes aim at herself, confessing šI™m a damn fool› over bright, squalling guitars. The injection of such a light-hearted barb reveals the band™s unrelenting dedication to fun, particularly when you consider the darker motivations that inform the track. The noisy and frantic final single ˜Noodle™ sees the band throw everything at the wall, including using a couple of 90™s toy walkie talkies feedbacking off of each other for the šlead guitar.› Mumble Tide™s taste for world building doesn™t end with their self-directed videos, indeed the duo also produce their own songs and design their own artwork. ˜Everything Ugly™ promises to take us on an unplotted course through the madness. With songs this infectious, they™re free to lead us wherever they like.
