The band Tides From Nebula formed at the beginning of 2008. In one year they wrote 50 minutes of energetic, ambient and, most importantly, emotional instrumental guitar music. This was the foundation of their debut album.
 
“And here they are. Young, talented and bubbling with ideas”
WE ARE FROM POLAND
 
‘Aura’ was released in March 2009 and immediately received positive attention and enthusiasm from critics and audiences alike. It received incredibly warm reviews in the Polish and foreign press. The magazine ‘Przekrój’ in their musical summary of the year included TFN in the top 10 Polish debuts of 2009 and ‘Aura’ in the top 10 Polish albums of 2009. ‘Teraz Rock’ declared TFN the 4th best debut in Poland in 2009.
 
“’Aura is an unbelievably moving and emotional album even though there is not one word here. It’s the sounds, ethereal like from another planet”
AUDIO MAGAZINE
 
In no time the band became the most important polish post-rock act and one of the best “export goods” in Poland. They have also established themselves as a great live band.
 
“I don’t think that there are currently many bands that perform so intensly as they do. They gave the impression of being really emotionally engaged in the show almost hipnotizing the audience with their behavior, choreography and above all with their sounds”
“GITARIST MAGAZINE”
 
They confirmed their live performance class by winning the two biggest contests for young bands: Neuro Music (Asymmetry Festival) and Before Party (KnockOut Festival).
 
“Everything was in it’s right place: the ideas, the performance, the sound, even the visual side (…) For a moment, a minute or five, I forgot why I came here, I forgot that this is a contest and I’m in the jury. I just enjoyed the music”

So far Tides From Nebula have played with such bands as This Will Destroy You (us), Oceansize (uk), Pure Reason Revolution (uk), Ulver (nor), Shrinebuilder (us) and many others. In September 2009 TfN toured around Poland with Caspian (us) and God Is An Astronaut (irl) making that the biggest post-rock event in Poland. Apart from that TFN also played their first European tour consisting of 10 shows in Germany, Austria, France and Belgium. During the fall of 2010 the band successfully toured Poland and Europe for almost 2 months, played almost 40 shows. The amount of people who attended to the shows suprised even the band.
 
Tides From Nebula’s new album entitled “Earthshine” will be released on May 9th 2011.The writing of material for ‘Earthshine’ was completed in the first half of 2010. During recording to distance them from everyday life the band took to the remote Polish mountains. This new, inspiring environment proved to be the perfect setting to record, resulting in an album filled with emotional, ambient and energetic soundscapes.
 
‘Earthshine’ was produced by Zbigniew Preisner, renowned as one of the Worlds foremost composers of music for film and theatre. Zbigniew tracked the band down after hearing them on the radio and offered his experience and expertise. An offer that couldn’t be refused or understated ‘Working with such a great composer brought a new perspective to our compositions, Zbigniew’s invaluable experience has certainly enriched us as musicians’ states Maciej. ‘We put our all in to ‘Earthshine’ our very beings, what we have created makes us very proud’
 
To promote ‘Earthshine’ Tides From Nebula will tour Europe. The first leg will see the band undertake their own headline shows before they join Riverside on tour as their special guests.
