The Pastel Waves are a Medway-based indie band who fuse their collective influences of New Wave, Indie and Brit Pop. With a full line-up in 2017, it was actually 2015 that Rob Percy and Chris Parsons (previous members of Medway band Speedwell) began writing new material together. Soon after, they knew they was onto something with this new project, and thus invited Joe Liste Romero and Mike Grigson (previous members of Medway band The Ambience) to join to add drums and vocals to the songs' bare bones. Their debut album 'All Things To All People' was released in March 2019 on Trouserphonic Records, with a follow-up digital single 'Ten', and the CD EP 'I Hate Myself For Wanting It' in May 2020. In April 2021, the band released 'The Influencers EP' on vinyl via Spinout Nuggets, with four strong tracks, each receiving enough attention to force them to continue recording. The band released their second album, 'Back In The Land Of The Living', in 2022, also receiving much interest. A limited lathe cut 7 was released in 2023. The Pastel Waves found themselves in The Moon Studio, under the hands of Rob Grigg (ex-The Dentists, currently These Guilty Men), with some time to gain four songs for two continuous grooves, including strings and arrangements by The Pastel Waves, Richard Moore and Clementine Canpont. Limited to 250 copies.
