Our Take

Upon first listen, Pale Waves' latest album "Smitten" on burgundy vinyl grabs hold of your senses like a cheeky chipmunk diving into a pile of acorns. The Manchester-based band has crafted a collection of tracks that seamlessly blend 80s synth-pop nostalgia with a modern twist, creating a sound that is as irresistible as a bowl of British bangers and mash.

Lead vocalist Heather Baron-Gracie's ethereal voice floats effortlessly over shimmering melodies and infectious hooks, pulling listeners into a whirlwind of emotion and energy. Tracks like "Change" and "Fall to Pieces" are instant earworms, guaranteed to have you dancing around your living room with reckless abandon.

But don't be fooled by the catchy tunes and upbeat tempo, as beneath the glossy surface lies a depth of raw, honest emotion that cuts straight to the core. Songs like "Tomorrow" and "Easy" showcase the band's ability to tackle heavy themes with poise and vulnerability, leaving listeners feeling both uplifted and introspective.

Overall, "Smitten" is a bold and dynamic offering from Pale Waves that solidifies their place as one of the UK's most exciting indie-pop acts. So go ahead, grab a glass of Pimm's, put on your favourite pair of Docs, and let Pale Waves sweep you off your feet with this enchanting album. Cheers!

About the artist

Pale Waves

If Pitchfork Magazine were to write about PALE WAVES, it might look something like this: PALE WAVES: The Enigmatic Quirks of Manchester's Pop Sensations Hailing from the rainy streets of Manchester, PALE WAVES has been making waves in the music industry with their infectious blend of shimmering synths, catchy hooks, and dark, brooding lyrics. The band's unique sound, which combines elements of synthpop, indie rock, and gothic romance, has garnered them a loyal fan base and critical acclaim. Led by the enigmatic frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie, PALE WAVES has a knack for crafting anthemic pop songs that are as catchy as they are thought-provoking. With her signature black eyeliner and eccentric outfits, Baron-Gracie cuts a striking figure on stage, commanding the audience's attention with her magnetic presence and powerhouse vocals. But PALE WAVES is more than just a one-woman show. The band's dynamic instrumentation, courtesy of guitarist Hugo Silvani, bassist Charlie Wood, and drummer Ciara Doran, creates a rich sonic tapestry that perfectly complements Baron-Gracie's ethereal vocals. Together, they create a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking, drawing inspiration from 80s synthpop and 90s alternative rock while putting their own modern twist on it. With a string of hit singles, sold-out shows, and a dedicated fan base, PALE WAVES is poised to take over the music world one catchy chorus at a time. So grab your eyeliner, lace up your Doc Martens, and get ready to dance the night away with Manchester's hottest pop sensations.
