Portland-based indie band Murida return with ‘Tied’, a sweeping, slow-building track that unfolds as it plays. Recorded at Hallowed Halls and engineered by Mike Davis (Ratboys, Great Grandpa), the single blends intricate instrumentation into a sound that’s both intimate and cinematic.
Drawing comparisons to Alvvays, Built to Spill, and Wednesday, ‘Tied’ begins with reflective guitar motifs and drifty pacing before swelling into a ritualistic climax. The track’s lyrical fragments rise and recede, never fully graspable, but emotionally resonant.
