The Thirst Tides is the upcoming debut studio album from Neon and the Argie Bees, originally planned for a 2024 release. An album simply titled "Thirst" was in the works since at least 2012, as a pun on the word "first", to signify it as NeonWabbit's first original album, but all material from those sessions were scrapped in favour of starting again completely from scratch in 2023 for Studio RGB-Newt's 20th anniversary in 2024.

Just like NeonWabbit's first ever production, Surfman in the "NO" Race, the theme of water is focused on for most of this album. It also includes the first big band jazz version of the Flye 'n' Frie franchise theme song "Flying Free" as a bright and cheerful album opener, after a melancholic and mostly instrumental ambient electronic intro. It is also notable for having its mixture of music genres in a roughly alphabetical order.
