Across the album, \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Tattersall\u003c\/strong\u003e (guitar and lead vocals), \u003cstrong\u003eFranic Rozycki\u003c\/strong\u003e (bass), and \u003cstrong\u003eJonny Helm\u003c\/strong\u003e (drums) capture the joy of playing together--a chemistry that has cemented their status as one of Britain's most enduring cult bands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTattersall's lyrics arrive like postcards from the space where memories fragment and dreams fill the cracks--reflecting the self as a child, as an elder, and as an observer from a neighbour's window. Lyrics float over the guitars and drums like figures in the sky in a Chagall painting. The Wave Pictures always give the mundane its magical due.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe front cover, created by Tattersall, is a tribute to \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Frank\u003c\/strong\u003e's front cover for \u003cem\u003eExile On Main Street\u003c\/em\u003e. Images of childhood combine with recent photos of the band and many other figures, from old horror movie posters to former footballers. Everything in their world gets funneled into The Wave Pictures music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album opens with the Burroughs-inspired dreamscape of \"\u003cem\u003eAlice\u003c\/em\u003e.\" ''\u003cem\u003eSure and Steady\u003c\/em\u003e'' is like Lou Reed if he'd grown up in the East Midlands. ''\u003cem\u003ePast The House Painted Blue\u003c\/em\u003e'' is like a painting by Matisse. ''\u003cem\u003eYou're My Patient Now\u003c\/em\u003e,'' a mixture of Raymond Chandler and Link Wray. The songs themselves--full of poetry and joy--are the album's defining strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike its predecessor, \u003cem\u003eGained\/Lost\u003c\/em\u003e was recorded by \u003cstrong\u003eJim Riley\u003c\/strong\u003e at Rochester's \u003cstrong\u003eRanscombe Studios\u003c\/strong\u003e over seven days in early 2024. Riley, who has worked with the band on multiple projects including Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon and Bamboo Diner in the Rain, captures the Wave Pictures live and unfiltered--the way they prefer to record. Throughout the album, David Tattersall's guitar playing is inventive, melodic, emotional and virtuosic. His playing at times is as lyrical as Jerry Garcia, at others spikey and spindley like Tom Verlaine, but always emotional and on point for the song. No wonder Marc Riley describes David Tattersall as ''The greatest guitarist of his generation.''\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGained\/Lost\u003c\/em\u003e sets a new standard: a distillation of spirit, craft, and joy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bella Union","offers":[{"title":"LP - 'Neon Pink' Colour Vinyl","offer_id":56545317028185,"sku":"SDZ-38279","price":32.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Wave_Pictures_-_Gained_-_Lost_-_Neon_Pink_Colour_Vinyl_-_2026.jpg?v=1762262730","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/the-wave-pictures-gained-lost","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
