Day Wave Announces Debut Album, Releases New Single “Something Here”
Images via Pooneh Ghana, Harvest RecordsJackson Phillips is dropping his debut album as Day Wave, The Days We Had, in May, but damn if he isn’t more polished than a first outing would suggest.
“Something Here,” the second single (after the melodically sedated “Wasting Time”) rushes forward with the sort-of hope that could only come from a “rookie” while tempering that blind faith with some lived-in logic. Even with a heavy head, Phillips insists “There’s something here” as some War on Drugs-inspired guitars whoosh past him. It’s just lovely to listen to and a wonderful sign of things to come.
You can listen to “Something Here” now via Spotify. The song premiered on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 radio show.
