The Waves

Minneapolis' indie sweethearts, Waves illustrate gossamer lyrical beauty with dreamy pop loops, leaving a little to the imagination for stripped guitars, and detailed imagery isn't ignored. Formed by the Hang Ups' Jeff Kearns, Waves' self-released 50 Palms in 1994, playing local gigs and maintaining a steady following through band changes and musical directions. Five years later, the band had a deal with March Records and issued Flame a Little Brighter. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
