Baywaves are back at it again, taking a pickaxe to indie hip-hop, woozy psych licks, and 70s yacht-rock – melting down the debris to pour into their dreampop mould.
Evoking the sound of a fading, out-of-focus beach polaroid, everyone’s favourite hypnopoppers are back with new single Over Time.
Roused by a meme which read: “I don’t want to care. But I will. Even more than before” the band penned the track from the perspective of exasperated millennials, anxious about a mess they didn’t create; a generation who are tired but don’t want to be accomplices to cynicism.
In the shadows cast by Spain’s economic crisis, Baywaves have found value in the currency of creation. In sounding different. Through their genre-meld compositions they are able to create an ambiguity, an abstract space in which they can simultaneously be political and empathic.
