Songwriter Ben Garrett wrote many of the songs for the current record while finding his way through mid-twenties malaise and life in an American landscape of fear and doubt. But Waves songs are filled with not only with melancholy, but with brilliant, blinding hope. Evident is a love of diverse musical genres. Combining handsome songs, alt-country influences with hip-hop beats, art-rock leanings and lots of roots reggae. Waves is SO FRESH!
