TIDES - EPK
LONDON DUO NEON GRU RELEASE ‘TIDES’ -
A SOULFUL, DARK DRUM & BASS BREAK-UP ANTHEM
Release date - 3rd October 2025
Neon Gru’s delicate intricacy meets fierce drum & bass grooves on “Tides” - a break-up song about choosing yourself.
Luminous vocals, distorted synths, and jazz-infused improvisations drive a dark groove where high-energy production crests into a euphoric, cathartic outro.
“Tides” captures the exact turn. As night settles, space and silence harden uncertainties into decision: it’s time to leave what no longer holds you. The song moves from tension to release, choosing intentional self-love and clearer boundaries so you land on your feet when the water pulls back. With a final mantra holding space for change:
Believing in better
Alone with the weather
The right thing is learning
That I can do better
This time

<— this one’s our fav
Wanna get me to fight?
Better give me something to fight about
I see the look in your eye
I can't help feeling something ain't right about it
Dusk turns to night
And my thoughts, they solidify
I'm gonna be on the right side, the right side
Of the turning tide
Got me waving goodbye
And my actions crystallise
Wanted you by my side
But you move like a dragonfly
It's just a matter of time
Before you realise
It was a trick of the light, the light
On a moving tide
A-woo
Oo
Ahh
Believing in better
Alone with the weather
The right thing is learning
That I can do better
This time
It's over
I'm leaving, my lover
Believing in better
Alone with the weather
It's time
Turning, turning, turning
Turning, turning tides
Turning, turning, turning
Turning tides

ABOUT US
Neon Gru is Ny Oh and Ru Lemer - a duo crafting neon-soul and psychedelic groove from a London warehouse. Powered by nature, curiosity and a close creative circle of friends and collaborators.
They fuse deep grooves, analogue textures and soaring vocals with live improvisation and a fearlessly experimental approach to production, with jazz DNA and an 80s afterglow.
Meeting in small festival jam tents across the UK more than a decade ago, their solo careers now span arena stages and top-10 artists - experience they pour back into Neon Gru. BBC Introducing Essex called them “incredibly innovative and totally mesmerising, an absolute dream.”
With each new release, Neon Gru builds on a soulful core, pushing sonic boundaries while keeping the intimacy of human exploration at the centre of their writing.
