Pale Waves really want to make you cry. Speaking to NME last year, singer Heather Baron-Gracie recalled something that drummer Ciara Doran had said when the band first started out. “She said, ‘I want to make people dance at our shows and not kinda just cry: they can cry and dance.’” They got us dancing; now it’s time to turn the waterworks on.
The release comes after a pretty marvellous 2017 for the Manchester group. They released first single ‘There’s A Honey’ last February, played New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden with labelmates The 1975 in June and bagged their first NME cover last October. In that time only one new song came out, the indie-pop belter ‘Television Romance’. Now, to keep things ticking over until their debut album, the group have paired a couple of recent singles with some re-recorded bangers to make a vivid 15-minute scrapbook of their journey thus far.
