[New Song Of The Week] Day Wave - Untitled
Kid Wave, Dark Waves, Pale Waves, The Wave Pictures, Wave Racer, there are plenty of indie bands trying to make some waves at the moment. And don’t even get us started on the usage of Day/Days in your band name.. So is there this some room in this day and age for another wavey band? Oh yes, according to Jackson Phillips, the brain behind Day Wave. His debut The Dreams We Had is out since May 5 and is the most surprising newcomer on our long list for album of the year so far. After two interesting EPs, leading him to play Lollapalooza, The Great Escape and The Governors Ball in the mean time, the world seems to be ready for an eagerly awaited full-length. Eleven tracks full of dreamy indie-pop which, depending on your mood and company, can be played in the background or hummed along to. Basically if The Drums’ Let’s Go Surfing is your jam, then this album will definitely get you going. It’s the perfect album for driving, in every kind of setting. Speeding away into the sunset, in the middle of the night on an empty highway, but an early morning sunrise would also make a splendid backdrop. Enjoy!
