about

On Waver, their newest collection of songs, Royal Canoe are steering into new terrain. The sun-flared polaroid life of previous albums is exchanged for a miraged-out, ominous landscape. The band still has their kaleidoscopic, beat-driven heart, but these songs play with the absurdity of modern life. When truth is optional, when the most volatile people have the most power, when reality becomes irrational - what do you anchor to?

Creating the album felt like a reset - an exercise in following the seed of inspiration to its end point before deconstructing and rebuilding. “Whenever we begin working on a new album we throw everything out, even if it worked last time, just so we have no chance to rest on our laurels,” says singer Matt Peters, “On Waver we set out to create leaner arrangements and clearer melodies - less between us and the listener.” They wanted to mine new corners of their sound and find new places to go.

This album is a masterpiece. Like if Adele and Winehouse had made a record together. The soul in the lyrics and arrangement blows me away every time I listen to it, loving it more each time. One of those albums that in the breaks I am already excitedly humming or singing the upcoming song. Makes me wonder that you're not bigger than Adele. In my mind you're better. Stay real. nybomber
