Pale Waves - Who Am I? (Album Review) Wednesday, 17 February 2021 Written by Huw Baines
The desire to dress up mainstream pop music as something different something more dangerous or provocative has been around since the penny dropped that rebellion shifted units. Pale Waves’ 2018 debut ‘My Mind Makes Noises’ ran headlong into this dynamic and faltered: for all the eyeliner and goth stylings the LP fizzled once its anodyne hooks failed to scratch beneath the surface.
Its successor is more comfortable in its surroundings. ‘Who Am I?’ ditches the Sisters of Mercy cosplay in favour of inhabiting the slick pop-rock of the late 1990s that set the table for Avril Lavigne’s blockbuster crossover success. Here Pale Waves find more room to manoeuvre, favouring the crunch of their guitars to add heft to choruses that skew anthemic. But there’s still one crucial thing missing.
Pale Waves Post New Track Fall To Pieces Ahead Of Who Am I? Release Wednesday, 10 February 2021
Pale Waves have shared a new single, Fall To Pieces.
The pop-rock song premiered as Annie Mac s Hottest Record on her BBC Radio 1 show. It serves as the fifth preview of the Manchester band s imminent second LP, Who Am I? , due out on February 12 via Dirty Hit. Vocalist Heather Baron-Gracie said: It s easy to fall into the same patterns in a relationship, which can lead you to have the same argument over and over. Fall To Pieces is about going through that constant cycle of arguing and then making up. It can be hard to break that pattern - sometimes you wonder if you ever will.
Pale Waves Continue To Tease Second LP Who Am I? With New Single You Don t Own Me Friday, 29 January 2021
Pale Waves have released a new single.
You Don t Own Me is the latest track to be lifted from their second album, Who Am I? , which is slated for release on February 12 through Dirty Hit. It follows previous cuts Easy, She s My Religion and Change.
Discussing the defiant pop-rock track, vocalist and guitarist Heather Baron-Gracie said:
“You Don’t Own Me is a song for women about what it’s like to be a woman in this world. How society depicts, judges and criticises women on a daily basis. This song is incredibly important to me and I wanted to represent my own experiences. I also wanted to say a f ck you to everyone that plays by these fake delusional rules that women and gender need to fit inside a specific box.”
