Our Take

Pale Waves' latest album "Unwanted" is like a rollercoaster ride through a neon-soaked 80s fever dream. The British indie-pop band manages to capture nostalgia for a decade most of them probably weren't even born in, all while injecting their own modern twist.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where there's never a shortage of hairspray and shoulder pads. Lead singer Heather Baron-Gracie's vocals are hauntingly captivating, drawing you in with each ethereal note. The band's synth-heavy sound is infectious, making it impossible not to dance along to tracks like "Wish You Were Dead" and "September."

The album isn't without its surprises, however. Just when you think you've got Pale Waves all figured out, they hit you with a curveball like the stripped-back acoustic ballad "Fall to Pieces," showcasing a vulnerability we haven't seen from them before.

While some may dismiss Pale Waves as just another retro-inspired pop band, "Unwanted" proves they have the chops to stand out from the crowd. It's a shimmering gem in a sea of mediocrity, a testament to the band's undeniable talent and ability to craft irresistibly catchy hooks that will be stuck in your head for days.

In the end, "Unwanted" is a triumph for Pale Waves, solidifying their status as a force to be reckoned with in the indie-pop scene. So grab your scrunchie and get ready to groove, because this album is one you definitely don't want to miss.

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.
