Humbling Tides

"Humbling Tides" is the second album in the unique kora / guitar / vocal songwriting idiom explored by Yann Tambour, now known as Stranded Horse (formely Thee, Stranded Horse and Encre).
Written largely during a spell living in Bristol, UK and recorded in the serene coastal environs of Normandy in North-West France, "Humbling Tides" continue along the path embarked upon with "Churning Strides" (released as Thee, Stranded Horse in 2007), effecting sublte but significant changes to a musical formula that finds Tambour melting disparate musical modes and cultures - shades of the mandinka tradition of West Africa, medevial folksong, Fahey-esque fingerpicking, French chanson and more can be discerned - into one bold, fluid and gradeful new form.

Stranded Horse will be silencing rooms and flooring jaws with his solo live show throughout the UK and Europe early next year, in support of the release of "Humbling Tides".
