The Waeve, formed by Rose Elinor Dougall and Graham Coxon, established themselves immediately after their debut album as one of the most stimulating, aesthetically coherent and consistent musical projects on the current UK music scene.
With the release of their second album “City Lights”, if there were any doubts about The Wave's excellence, they completely dissipated. This is afascinating album, made up of a very homogeneous collection of songs that offers the listener a mix of delicious sounds in moments of pure magic.
Since the first album, The Waeve has shown what it came from, what its musical references are and the tremendous difference that a genuinely powerful human and loving connection between the duo Dougall - Coxon can have in the construction and consolidation of a successful musical project.
“City Lights” is undoubtedly one of the most successful and rewarding poetic and musical moments of the year. An album that is an authentic nostalgic ode to a certain lost paradise. Superb!
