In episode #218 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar sits down with Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall, the creative forces behind The WAEVE. Blending elements of British folk-rock, post-punk, and freeform songwriting, The WAEVE craft a cinematic sound that delves into themes of oblivion, surrender, hope, and defiance against a backdrop of uncertainty.
Following their acclaimed self-titled debut album in 2023 and their second release, City Lights, in 2024, the duo returns with Eternal, a brand-new three-track EP featuring the single Love Is All Pain. Ahead of their UK headline tour, which kicks off on March 16th in Glasgow, Graham and Rose discuss how they met, their creative process, and the inspirations behind their latest music.
