Pale Waves - Unwanted

Unwanted is the third studio album by English rock band Pale Waves, released in August 2022 via Dirty Hit.

Pale Waves are an English rock band from Manchester, formed in 2014. It was founded originally as Creek when lead singer and guitarist Heather Baron-Gracie met drummer Ciara Doran while attending university in Manchester. The other members are guitarist Hugo Silvani and bassist Charlie Wood, completing the line-up. Pale Waves's early work on their debut My Mind Makes Noises (2018) is often described as 1980s inspired indie rock or synth-pop; with their second album Who Am I? (2021), the band began to experiment with more pop-punk styles.

Pale Waves returns with new single 'Lies' - the first to be taken from their third album 'Unwanted'.

Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Zakk Cervini, whose credits read like a who's who of alt royalty - from Blink-182 and Modern Baseball, to Halsey and Machine Gun Kelly - 'Lies' pairs the crunchy guitars and rhythmic drive of 2000s pop punk with the rage of a 90s rock band."

'Lies' is about someone who built up my trust and destroyed it like a wrecking ball," says front-woman Heather Baron-Gracie. "it caused some real trust issues, but fortunately for me that person is no longer in my life. Once you do me wrong you're gone!".

This album is a limited edition on neon pink coloured vinyl with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Europe via Dirty Hit.
