Strange Tides

Strange Tides is the principle project of songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kirsten Bale. While she craves expertise in every instrument she tries, Kirsten’s big picture perspective on music and songwriting is the secret sauce that allows her to create varied yet coherent releases. Kirsten’s tendency to allow songs to mull over a period of months results in a sonic and poetic experience which strikes the listener as both thoughtful and profoundly honest. Strange Tides got its start in folk-rock and has been influenced by brit-rock, folk, and pop-rock, but Kirsten’s insatiable drive to explore new instruments, chord patterns, time signatures, and genres means that the listener never grows bored.
