Montreal musician Thanya Iyer returns with her third and most accomplished album to date, TIDE/TIED, released via Topshelf Records.
Blending dreamy experimental pop with elements of jazz, folk, and orchestral music, Iyer crafts a richly textured and emotionally resonant work that showcases her evolution as a visionary artist and composer.
The seven-minute closer “Waves/Hold/Tied” stands out as a powerful emotional and sonic centerpiece.
With sweeping orchestral swells and immersive layering, the track encapsulates the album’s themes of tension and release, movement and stillness. It’s a lush, meditative finale that invites repeated listens.
TIDE/TIED reaffirms Thanya Iyer as a bold voice in Canada’s experimental pop landscape—curious, genre-defiant, and utterly captivating.
