Circa Waves - Young Chasers - Review

Circa Waves - Young Chasers

Callum Thornhill

I've been waiting for the album all year and it has finally arrived. Easily going to be one of the bands of the year, Circa Waves dropped Young Chasers today and oh boy is it good.

Opening with Get Away, the album is very energetic and gets right inside your bones, you have no other choice than to dance. Much of the album was already available to listen to, e.g So Long and Fossils so fans knew what sort of excellence they were buying into.

The idea of youth is definitely portrayed by the Liverpool band, they've brought a typical new wave indie rock vibe to their debut album. Certainly a band to catch live at smaller venues before they hit the big time.

Latest single T-shirt Weather features on Young Chasers, a song released at the perfect time ready to be massively hyped for summer. The album as a whole is an ideal soundtrack to build up to the sunshine and festival season.

Personal highlight for me is Stuck In My Teeth, released last year on limited edition vinyl I managed to find one in Newcastle's Beatdown Records, since then I've loved Circa Waves. Having it surrounded by other excellent tracks is a bonus and a pleasure to the ears.

As always with new bands, it isn't hard to compare them to bands such as the Strokes and the Stereophonics, but with such energy and drive it may be Circa Waves' year to break through the stereotypical indie rock band sound. Difficult but doable.

Circa Waves have a tour starting in Newcastle on April 8th and finishing in London on April 17th. Young Chasers will be showcased and these tracks will be amazing live.
