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.
The band headlined Hoxton Hall on May 3rd ahead of release for core fans.
The band will be opening select shows on Elbow's spring arena tour, as well as spot dates opening for Noel Gallagher and The Breeders. They will also be performing at Green Man Festival in August in Wales.
We will have a light digital spend in place for this release, targeting core fans of The Waeve, Graham Coxon, and fans of blur, capitalizing on the latest PR headlines at Coachella.
