Strange Company - Waves
South Wales alt-rock quintet Strange Company release their dark and atmospheric single 'Waves'.
Following on from the success of return single 'Do You Feel Numb?', Strange Company drop their next track 'Waves'.
Known for blending high-energy emo-punk with emotionally charged modern rock, Strange Company fuse nostalgic with contemporary creating a sound that is familair yet fiercely fresh. Sitting somewhere between post-hardcore and post-rock unique new track 'Waves' sees Strange Company explore darker elements of their sound.
"Sonically 'Waves' ended up on the darker and more atmospheric side of our spectrum. When I frist wrote the bare bones of the song, I was listening to a lot of Citizen, which definitely came through in the emo-leaning feel of the original demo. Once I took it to the boys, though, every element of the song seemed to get heavier. We added delayed guitars, swelling textures and echoed vocals, which transformed it into a much denser, more evolving soundscape. Alef and I have always had a real love for shoegaze, and I think that comes through pretty clearly in the final mix. It's been really interesting hearing that version alongside the original demo and seeing how far the song evolved" - (Owen Weston, Guitar, Strange Company)
The very modern leaning track builds a huge atmosphere that definitely feels darker and almost melancholic at times compared to what I have heard previously from Strange Company. The weight of the track seems to hold it steady as the textures grow around everything eventually becoming a song that blooms into it's heaviness. I am actually really intrigued by what Strange Company have created with this one and I recommend if you haven't already that you go give it a listen.
