Waves Crashing drop new EP

Hailing from Olympia in Washington State, Waves Crashing is an alternative band formed in 2019. Taking their cues from music from the 80s and 90s, they offer their own unique sound that pairs the retro tones of their inspirations with their thoroughly current sound of enveloping sonic energy and captivating melodic writing.

Making their introduction in 2020, they dropped their debut single “Sleepwalk”, followed by three singles before releasing their first EP Sea of Wires last year which was premiered around the world on the shoegaze radio station DKFM.

Taking their music to the stage, they’ve delighted audiences with their lives shows, playing at the LoveOly Summer Fest in downtown Olympia and a slot at the inaugural South Sound Block Party alongside renowned acts such as Bully, The Cave Singers, and The Districts this summer.

Returning in 2022 with the single “In My Head” in March, they now bring us their latest work with their sophomore EP titled high/low. Linking up with mixing engineers James Aparicio who’s worked with the likes of Depeche Mode and Mogwai, and Jurt Roy who’s credits include Sea Salt and Fern Murphy, the EP features three new tracks that showcase the talent and formidable sound of Waves Crashing.

Opened by the title track “high/low”, perfectly kicking off the release with their dreamy indie rock sound, the EP then drifts into the lead single “in my head”, the gently driving and euphoric song that turned the heads of listeners around the world earlier in the year, before closing with “capsized – reimagined” to provide the stunning atmospheric crescendo to high/low. On an exquisitely written and superbly balanced EP, high/low sees Waves Crashing share a stellar artistic work as they continue to go from strength-to-strength on their exciting sonic journey.
