THE WAEVE - The WAEVE - 2LP - Gatefold Transparent Green Vinyl

2LP - Indies Exclusive Limited Edition Transparent Green Vinyl. 

The WAEVE - composed of Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall – release their eponymous debut album on Transgressive Records.

Produced by The WAEVE and James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Florence and The Machine, Foals, HAIM) and recorded in London earlier this year, The WAEVE is a collection of 10 new tracks from songwriters Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall. Joining creative forces in The WAEVE gave the duo the opportunity to push past their instrumental comfort zones. Many tracks feature Graham on saxophone, one of the first instruments he played as a young musician back in the 80s.

First single ‘Can I Call You’ starts as a ballad then morphs into a krautrock-style motorik number with a sprawling Coxon guitar solo. ‘All Along’ features Graham on cittern, a medieval folk lute. Rose plays piano and an ARP 2000 modular synth. The heavy weather all over The WAEVE recalls the blustery folk rock of Sandy Denny or John and Beverly Martyn, while tracks such as ‘Kill Me Again‘ and ‘Over and Over’ recall the 70s rock of Kevin Ayers or Van der Graaf Generator, almost industrial in places.
