about

In their releases to date, Mumble Tide (Gina Leonard & Ryan Rogers) have proven themselves a group never quick to repeat themselves, always curious to uncover a new creative process and capable of switching gears at a moment’s notice, no more apparent than with the three singles this year. The breezy, 90s alt sounds of Hotel Life preceded the wistful and intimate Kindest, with the duo now unleashing the fierce and frantic single The Start Over.

Vocalist Gina Leonard comments: “The Start Over is about self-doubt, and feeling stuck and bad and misunderstood and ugly and boring. When we were working with Ellie on it, she described it as feeling like Gina is trying to scramble to the top of all the noise, but keeps getting knocked back. 'I think I was pretty fed up with myself around that time and wanted to let it all out, in the hope that I could start over. It's probably the angriest vocal I've delivered so far'.

The Mumble Tide sound is a fluid one that mirrors the way their latest music has come together. Working with co-producer Ellie Mason (Voka Gentle) the duo “ended up living in a strangely nomadic way”, uprooting themselves every couple of months and moving between boats, airbnbs, spare rooms and warehouses. Their recording set-up travelled with them as they sought out new inspiration in new spaces, and looked to capture what they felt during those specific moments in time.

lyrics

Would you let the overflow come out of my mouth
Come out of my eyes again
I need to get out of here
I’ve got a broken heart
Got a story you could switch off to
Heard it a million times before
Is it dead to you
Is it boring
Is it boring
Give me a year back
Give me a cold shoulder
Give me a hot outfit
Give me an excuse to start over
Give me a bottle
Give me a wall
Give me another try
Give me a ribbon and some scissors
It was the last piece
Got tired of always standing up
I’m just gonna rest my feet
I guess im destined for square one
He said I look 24
All wrapped up tight yea spider spin
He was chatting stone cold
I was letting it in
Is it boring
Is it boring
Give me a year back
Give me a cold shoulder
Give me a hot outfit
Give me an excuse to start over
Give me a bottle
Give me a wall
Give me another try
Give me a ribbon and some scissors
He lost his patience
Said I’ve got a memory like a sieve
How come I can’t forget
How come I can’t forgive
How come my skin is paper
Did you wanna write your name
Did you wanna scribble all over me
I’m always up for stains
Is it boring
