Yes! It’s finally here! The EP we’ve been desperately waiting for! Courtesy of New Zealand-based alternative rock duo Midwave Breaks, ‘Better Days’ delivers two new singles and a remix. Hey, we’ll take what we can get! Ever since first hearing ‘Stonewall‘ last year, we’ve been a little obsessed with the pair of Bruce Conlon and Paul Russell. So, without further ado, let’s dive into ‘Better Days’.
I’m getting hints of Pearl Jam with notes of Audioslave and Bush. It’s a potent mix filled with emotion and authenticity that strikes a chord deep within. Intense yet inviting, nostalgic yet fresh, Midwave Breaks concoct a tune effortlessly balancing power and vulnerability.
A heart-wrenching and stripped-back version of ‘Better Days’ is the band’s next offering, and it’s absolutely beautiful. Just trust me on this one!
‘If I Was…’ completes the outfit’s latest EP and it’s a serious anthem! Rich and layered, the infectious song is perfectly described by the duo as “A keyboard-fuzz-laden warm hug of a track”.
Midwave Breaks is a special little unit we at Mesmerized have come to really appreciate. Understated, they go about their business with integrity and conviction, letting their sound do the talking with sincerity and depth.
Serious EP alert! Enjoy ‘Better Days’ on Spotify now:
