Product description

VINYL WITH SIGNED ART PRINT.

You haven't heard them like this before, but you may already know the band. One is James Chapman, better known as Maps, whose critically acclaimed debut We Can Create was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, and whose latest album Vicissitude, came out on Mute. The other is Polly Scattergood, the electrically charged artist who has released two solo albums on Mute.

The seeds of Chapman and Scattergood's creative partnership were sown in 2011, at Mute's Short Circuit festival, a special event at London's Roundhouse. The night saw different collaborations with Mute artists and Polly and James paired up to perform each other's songs.

On Dead Waves launched their debut track, Blackbird, at the end of 2015. Q said "… a world of smeared mascara and trailer-park heartache, there's something wonderfully cinematic about this debut single." while The Guardian wrote "Blackbird, their debut single, somehow nods to both shoegaze and country, with a David Lynchian creepiness to both music and lyrics." Heavy of atmosphere, rich in melody, rippled with an air of malice and flowing female and male vocals, On Dead Waves' debut album will be released on Mute on May 20.

    Definitely worth the wait! Polly Scattergood's scarily intimate voice leads you into very dark places. I especially love " Autumn Leaves", (reminds me a bit of twin-peaks? ) anyway, it is musical melancholy personified! "Blackbird" too, gorgeous, about a blackbird in her room... beautifully mixed, love the synth instrumental backing tracks....my only small gripe is that I can't read the tiny credits on the cd- but perhaps it is all intended to be a bit mysterious.....

    I came across "California" on a Mojo compilation and thought this band were worth investigating. I am happy to say I wasn't disappointed, the whole album is full of enjoyably seductive tracks. I particularly like "Blackbird" and most definitely hope they release some more songs.

    Nice mood throughout, with Blackbird a standout tune.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Polly Scattergood
    Reviewed in Canada on 15 December 2016
    Polly Scattergood, need one say more? Less heart-breaking than her first solo album, but still deeply moving with gorgeous tunes, and some nice hand made writing on the vinyl version (including autograph). An easy contender for album of the year. Also look to download the cover versions of "Comfortably Numb" and "Only You" on the 'Dusk Versions" singles which are both exceptional.

    Zufällig im Radio gehört und eigentlich umgehend bestellt:mal was anderes, leise Musik, etwas düstere Stimmung, aber das wußte ich ja.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Magnifique
    Reviewed in France on 24 June 2016
    Une atmosphère dense et de très belles mélodie créées par des chants masculins et féminins.
    Premier album très bien ficelé on en redemande.
    Je leur souhaite de réussir afin de voir ce qu'ils pourraient nous réserver à l'avenir.
    Pour cela il faut qu'ils vendent assez d'album pour continuer.
    Donc, écoutez les et si cela vous plais, achetez leur album.
