The track is the third release from the emerging artist.

San Francisco singer-songwriter Josh Long emerged last year with his debut single ‘Last June’ and has since been gradually establishing his fun sound that takes ques from around the worlds of pop and indie rock.

The latest single from the artist is ‘Tidal Wave’, an anthemic, indie-edged track that explores the pain and confusion that can come with unreciprocated feelings and relationships. Tonally, the track has a nostalgic, almost 70s feel to its composition, with funk-laden basslines, emphatic brass sections, and Josh’s general upbeat charm making for a sound that feels cheery and optimistic despite its more melancholy narrative. ‘Tidal Wave’ is a track that continues to showcase the nuances and sheer fun of Josh Long’s sound, and his innate ability to make anything sound like a good time with his irresistible arrangements and evident charisma.
