If you slept on this UK duo's debut last year, here's your chance to catch on up. The musical pairing of the always brilliant songwriter and Blur guitarist Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall (The Pipettes), The Waeve have been making wa(e)ves with their blend of post-punk, folk instrumentation, and overblown saxophone madness. New album City Lights ramps up the vigour, delivering more of the anthems that have seen The Waeve bombast compared to Bowie's Scary Monsters era, with Pitchfork praising their "alchemic mixture of psych, punk, folk, tenderness, and dread". - Flying Out
British Folk-Rock Post-Punk duo, The Waeve, return with their latest guitar driven romp, City Lights.
Graham Coxon (Blur) + Rose Elinor Dougall return with the follow-up to last year's acclaimed eponymous debut (Top 30 UK OCC). Produced by James Ford (Fontaines DC, Arctic Monkeys), the record features both artists on vocal duties in addition to playing a host of instruments including saxophone, keyboards and drums. The Waeve have established themselves as a songwriting partnership to watch and with City Lights they further push the boundaries of their collaborative creativity, using this album to chronicle the evolution of their relationship and forays into parenthood.
City Lights is presented in a beautiful gatefold sleeve designed by Matt de Jong (Blur, Arlo Parks). The title track was released in May and added to the 6Music playlist, as well as garnering coverage on NME, DIY, Stereogum, Under The Radar + more. At this point the band were main support to Elbow across a full UK arena tour, in addition to their own sold-out headline show at London's Hoxton Hall. This summer sees them play large scale shows with Noel Gallagher, Breeders plus Green Man Festival and their own headline show at Village Underground on 29.10, with a full album tour to follow in the spring.
