Weep Wave is an Indie/Psych band from Seattle, WA. With lyrics driven by space, death and existentialist questions they power through by turning up the volume on their amplifiers and mine the depths of their emotions. These DIY darlings have toured and played festivals extensively up and down the west coast. In 2019 they released their debut album “S.A.D.” on vinyl and embarked on 2 month tour out to Texas for SXSW. “S.A.D.” is a concept album about seasonal affective disorder in which the band explores the bold, expansive differences of the changing seasons (which can sometimes be pretty drastic here in the pacific northwest when you add the often-grey skies).
"Concrete," the third single from the album (S.A.D), starts slow, squalling, and heavy as its namesake, speeding up to a sprint through city streets crowded with people and the weight they carry individually. Its lyrics explore the nature of the city being swallowed by the insatiable monster known as capitalism, anticipating a cement tomb, "death by a thousand cuts," clouds in the sky shedding their tears all over the sidewalks, and mothers who will sell your soul for the right price. There is a darkness cast that is hard to escape, the sound of cement trucks pulling up behind you and the impending terror of being trapped in something you can't break through. - Martin Douglas (KEXP)
