Pale Waves have released their new single, “Lies” from their just-announced album, Unwanted, out August 12th via Dirty Hit. The new track finds the band experimenting with crunchy guitars and rhythmic drive 90’s rock bands with a tinge of emo. The track which was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Zakk Cervini (Blink-182, Modern Baseball, Halsey, Machine Gun Kelly). Watch the video now below.
“‘Lies’ is about someone who built up my trust and destroyed it like a wrecking ball,” says frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie on the inspiration for track. “It caused trust issues for myself, but fortunately for me that person is no longer in my life. Once you do me wrong, you’re gone!”
Unwanted is available for pre-order now HERE. The album chronicles the band’s personal and artistic journey that reaches out into the passionate community of misfits and LGBTQIA+ fans around the band, tapping into darker emotions than ever before while also striking a fresh tone of defiance.
“It was really the only thing this album could be called,” continues Heather. “It’s bold and unapologetic, and that’s what the Pale Waves community is about. We don’t need to fit a perfect mold, we don’t need to apologize for being ourselves, and we won’t change for anyone. That acceptance is what connects us.”
Pale Waves will embark on a select run of U.S. headline shows before touring as main support for 5 Seconds of Summer’s nationwide U.S. amphitheater tour this summer and appearing at a string of international festival dates. Tickets can be found HERE.
