Afraid of Heights

Wavves

Polished grunge meets surf-punk nihilism. A record of massive hooks and studio sheen masking deep-seated anxiety and existential dread.

A sun-bleached panic attack disguised as a collection of catchy rock anthems.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the pastoral bells in Sail to the Sun suddenly explode into a wall of distorted power chords.
The heavy, sludge-influenced bass line that anchors the self-deprecating anthem Demon to Lean On.
The haunting, five-minute slow burn of the title track that trades surf-punk speed for atmospheric weight.
