Marking the 4th studio release of a 7 month studio campaign, Riptide is continuing the trend of an ongoing collection of songs that convey heavy emotions, stories, and the path of a great musician. Delving straight into the song to talk about the journey that a relationship goes through when you’ve done all you can do and love is fading. Erich crafts the story beautifully and compares it to a riptide, mixed with part of the narrative head space that one goes through in this hardship. While everyone’s journey with heartbreak is different, Mrak excels with connecting the emotion and heart in his latest release. Not only is it fascinating that he is releasing these songs over a calculated period of time, it makes sense. To myself as the listener, I want to get snippets of the journey that he has created for us to listen, session by session. Erich Mrak, you are challenging what musicians face as the control of music and the release of something you create is all in your hands.
