Waves

NewDad

Hazy, reverb-soaked indie rock from the Irish coast. Melodic basslines drive a thick fog of guitars and breathy, introspective vocals.

It sounds like a long, lonely walk on a foggy beach with the best headphones you own.

A protective layer of coastal fog and melodic melancholy that feels both cold and comforting.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The thick, melodic bass hook that opens 'Drown' and anchors the entire track's hazy momentum.
The way the guitars swell into a wall of sound during the climax of the title track 'Waves'.
The intimate, almost whispered vocal delivery on 'Blue' that feels like a secret shared in a dark room.
