Tidal Pull is an indie rock band from Zagreb, and Sve isto kao svaki put do sad marks their third album. The band has described the record as a product of impulse and intuition — a power-pop release with slight emo tinges. The tracks feel mellow, nostalgic, and distinctly suburban.
The album opens strongly with Na prvi pogled, a warm blend of Midwest emo and indie rock. It’s comforting, melodic, and immediately accessible. The guitars are jangly and inviting, and the interplay between male and female vocals sits effortlessly on top of the instrumentation. It’s an ideal introduction to the album’s overall sound.
Zavezljaj continues in a similar vein and stands out as one of the record’s highlights. It’s catchy without feeling disposable, and the female vocal performance is clear, expressive, and easy to connect with. It’s uplifting indie rock executed with confidence, which helps to illustrate why the band align themselves closely with power pop.
Prozori širom otvoreni (horizonti) slows the pace, leaning further into Midwest emo and trading immediacy for autumnal softness and reflection. It serves as a quiet pause within the tracklist. Ne, hvala (Možda drugi put) follows with warm, hazy guitar lines that build a lush atmosphere, extending the album’s sense of tenderness and introspection.
Vodi me na put is another standout moment. The balance between male and female vocals feels especially natural, with neither overpowering the other. The song is delicate and melancholic yet still inviting, demonstrating how effective simple arrangements can be when supported by strong songwriting.
Overall, Sve isto kao svaki put do sad is an enjoyably bittersweet listen that moves fluidly between buoyant power pop and quieter, nostalgic passages. The album traces a subtle seasonal arc — beginning in the brightness of summer and gradually drifting toward winter — echoing its themes of vulnerability and coming of age. At just under 30 minutes, it leaves some ideas only partially explored. Even so, Tidal Pull delivers a warm and approachable third release that feels like a clear step forward for the band.
