THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “The coming together of two musicians who, through working together have formed a new, singular, sonic identity. A powerful elixir of cinematic British folk-rock, post-punk, organic song-writing and freefall jamming. Themes of oblivion and surrender are juxtaposed with suggestions of hopefulness and light. Against a brutal global backdrop of impending apocalypse and despair, Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall strive to free themselves through the defiant optimism of making music.
With the release of their acclaimed eponymous debut album in February 2023, The Waeve established themselves as a songwriting partnership to watch. Now, after a year of touring and studio sessions, The Waeve are back with their sophomore studio album City Lights, 10 brand-new tracks that illustrate the evolution of their collaborative musicianship, allowing this meeting of musical minds to further push the boundaries of their individual creativity.”
