NZ's Clementine Valentine announce new album + single 'Time and Tide'

28 June 2023 - 0 Comments

Clementine Valentine, the Coromandel-based art-pop duo formerly known as Purple Pilgrims, announce their upcoming album, The Coin that Broke the Fountain Floor, out August 25th via Flying Nun Records, and share new single Time and Tide. To celebrate the album release, the duo will perform four intimate shows around the country this September. For more info and tickets, visit Banishedmusic.com.

Building upon the momentum of Endless Night (currently #1 on the SRN Top 10), the song captures moments of liberation, free from overthinking and regret. Its ethereal and anthemic quality is propelled by the cascading string arrangements of Randall Dunn (Oneohtrix Point Never, Danny Elfman, Jim Jarmusch) and Matt Chamberlain's (David Bowie, Lana Del Rey, Fiona Apple) fervent drumming.

Speaking about the track, Clementine Valentine says: “Without giving too much away, this song is a kind of mantra of radical acceptance. Our songs usually overflow with words and imagery, this one we consciously left open - you’re invited to fill the space in between.”

The Time and Tide music video, directed by Auckland-based photographer and filmmaker Greta van der Star (Kate Sylvester, Ingrid Starnes, Penny Sage), draws inspiration from American artist and photographer Francesca Woodman. It artfully explores the feelings of isolation and confinement that came about during the song’s creation during the Covid lockdown.
