Wavers Look What I Found LP
The cyclical nature of music continues to resound as young folks renew and revise the spirit of ’90s indie, centering bright hooks and big guitars. WAVERS, from Olympia where American indie has always thrived, sound familiar and novel at once, striking the perfect balance between the current crop of loftspace DIY rock and giants that came before—even rhyming with early PAVEMENT in some of their guitar work. Vocalist/guitarist Rosie’s soaring voice is smartly featured up front and center, bolstered by a smart and well-weathered backing band that knows what they like and how to play it. Drummer Charlie also sings sumptuous harmonies that will mist your eyes more than once, guaranteed. Totally gorgeous and self-assured emo-tinged indie that will ring true regardless what era it’s heard in.
