[edit] Background

The album was released in New Zealand on October 8th. In Swings The Tide was recorded at Moa's home in her lounge and produced by Moa herself. It started out as a demo-recording session and soon flourished into a what is now a full-blown album.

Moa sums 'In Swings The Tide' up best herself; "This third album is a more mature and more developed me. It's the best one yet. I say that without being modest. It's the best album I have ever done".^[1]
