The Waeve have announced a spring UK tour.
Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall will play shows in Bristol, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, London and Brighton between March 19 and 28. London tickets are on sale now, and the other dates go on general sale at 10am this Friday (October 28).
The trek will support their self-titled debut album together under The Waeve moniker, out on February 3 through Transgressive. We've already heard the single Can I Call You, and now the duo have shared another preview in the form of Drowning. In a statement about the six-minute track, they said:
"Drowning is one of the more meandering, cinematic songs on the album. The song touches on themes of allowing oneself to be subsumed by forces you can’t deny, whether that be romantically or life in general, of giving into the delicious risk of total failure and oblivion, despite one’s better judgment… Lyrically it comes from two different perspectives, with Rose’s vocal beginning as an intimate half secret, which then expands into soaring strings. By the end we hear Graham's refrain, acquiescing to the rising tides of intensity and acceptance of a shared fate - “Hold on to me as the waters rise. Drowning again…”
