Good things come in simple packages. Enigmatic rock band from Switzerland TheWave proves it once again with their latest EP „Painture“.
Little is known about the creating force behind TheWave, except for the fact that it comes from a tiny swiss town. This serves as a backbone to experiencing „Painture“ – this release possesses a certain provincial amateur charm.
As the name hints, „Painture“ is dedicated to mental health and feeling, as the author voices being in therapy for quite a few years now. Lofi bedroom production also comes as a chosen aspect, used to express the process of changing.
“She painted her room black… now she may never leave this place”.
TheWave has always operated in a moody and darkish tone, bringing up the topics of misery, failure and relapse in his songs. And it’s only natural that he resides in Grunge/Post Rock/Alternative territories as his primary means of expression. The first released album was way more ominous and depressive, still managing to show impressive Math Rock sound elements and catchy songwriting. Even though you won’t be hearing any powerful vocals or intense guitar shred, TheWave creates a captivating world of outsider music, rooting deeply in such traditional acts as The Shaggs.
