To the Tide - Defence of the Heart EP

In an era where music serves as both an escape and a mirror to our emotions, Canada-based artist To The Tide, also known as Silk Static, has unveiled a deeply personal and evocative body of work. His new EP, ‘Defence of the Heart’, is more than just a collection of tracks—it’s a concept album that narrates a journey through loss, isolation, self-discovery, growth, and ultimately, hope. For the first time in his career, To The Tide decided to use his own image for the album’s cover art, a decision that underscores just how personal this project is. “THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I’VE EVER USED ALBUM ART THAT’S A PICTURE OF ME, AND IT FEELS SO RIGHT, BECAUSE THIS ALBUM IS THE MOST HONEST AND PERSONAL PIECE I’VE EVER MADE,” he shares.
