Ciara paint it black interview8/15/2023 Speaking on how it had been thus far, Gracie said, “It’s been great, it’s been amazing. When Substream spoke to the band in late 2017, they were fresh into their first U.S. They kind of more focus on the song then.” Doran adds, “It’s a blank canvas, we can go anywhere from there.” Then people haven’t got much to get a first impression, or judge the song. But we judge the song on the artwork, or we get a first impression of a song based on the artwork, and we just thought it be really cool if we didn’t come out with really dramatic artwork and just go straight up pretty much all black and white with our name on it and the title of the song. When asked about it, Gracie says, “These days, I think, we do it ourselves. A black background encompasses the artwork with simply the text of the song name and band name at the bottom. With the first three tracks, there was a graphical theme of being bare with the art. It’s like there are a lot of different sides to Pale Waves on that EP.” Pale Waves are just getting started.Īsking about a thematic presence on the EP, Doran notes that some of the songs on it are “the first songs we wrote.” Gracie adds, “Having them on the EP is really special for us. It’s been really great to get this EP done and we are really proud of it.” Her voice is pure when speaking on this, it’s easy to feel the excitement, the admiration, the pride behind Gracie and Doran’s words. We would record the songs and make it how we want it, and they would work on the technical side of things.” Regarding the debut EP, she says, “We’ve been there for the whole process, it’s been a lot different, but a lot more rewarding. “They would produce it without us even being there,” Heather notes on the process of recording “There’s A Honey” and “Television Romance.” “Matty and George,” she continues, “they were so busy, we are so busy, with them it worked differently. The band’s third single released, “New Years Eve,” was the first song listeners have heard that wasn’t produced by Healy and Daniels, though it may be difficult to tell since all the primary aspects of what Pale Waves do so well are there, front and center. ![]() ![]() We’ve shown more of ourselves and are just developing in general.” It kind of works for the first two singles, to have them work on it, but now like, it’s been a different way. have wished us the best and we’ve gone our separate ways because we are both so busy. Maybe interview them then, I’m doing questions about something else.” Doran adds in that she guesses “it will get filtered out anyway because we have done the EP now. When asked about the constant association with The 1975 and if it is disingenuous to Pale Waves’ own identity, Gracie states, “It sometimes is when an interviewer only asks about that, which is fine. Speaking with singer/guitarist Heather Baron Gracie and drummer Ciara Doran, it can be felt that this typecasting and constant association to The 1975 will not define them, especially with a new EP expected early this year. ![]() Pale Waves was even given the opening slot to The 1975’s recent North American tour, an experience that surely rocketed the band to higher audiences, but has also infused listeners with the idea that the band can be billed as “the female 1975,” something the band doesn’t dwell on too often. The band’s first two singles, “There’s A Honey,” and “Television Romance” were both produced by Matty Healy and George Daniels of The 1975. Lush electronics fill the space between tight rhythms, buzzing guitar riffs, and intoxicating vocal melodies to paint their sound. ![]() One of those being Manchester, England’s own Pale Waves, a band that has resonated exponentially in their short year in the spotlight thanks to infectious and meticulously crafted indie pop songs. As the weather turns colder and harsher in Boston, there are a few things keeping us warm this season.
