Humbling Tides is the second album in the unique kora/guitar/vocal songwriting idiom explored by Yann Tambour, now known as Stranded Horse.

Written largely during a spell living in Bristol, UK and recorded in the serene coastal environs of Normandy in North-West France, Humbling Tides continues along the path embarked upon with Churning Strides effecting subtle but significant changes to a musical formula that finds Tambour melting disparate musical modes and cultures – shades of the mandinka tradition of West Africa, medieval folksong, Fahey-esque fingerpicking, French chanson and more can be discerned – into one bold, fluid and graceful new form.

Stranded Horse has been silencing rooms and flooring jaws with his solo live show throughout the UK and Europe this year, in support of the release of Humbling Tides.
