Like a self-fulfilling prophecy, ‘Waveland’ evokes the iconic seaside view of an infinite horizon. Flourishing over electrifying retro rock, folk lyricism and a certain surf-pop flavouring, the record feels charismatic and luscious, wrapping the listeners with tons of blissful vibes and long, shimmering guitar tones, the perfect match for the album’s inspiring lyricism.
Characterizing themselves as ‘Coastal Americana’, Nero Simon And The Sunsetters navigate their way through a quirky and peculiar record, among a stream of acoustic guitars, friendly arrangements and evocative vocals, both male and female; such an eclectic alchemy helps the album punch above its weight, offering something for everyone; a comprehensive sonic panorama, overall.
Lyrically, the record delves into the destruction and desolation left by Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi; as they explain: “You can either get lost in self-pity or you can pick yourself up and move on. The music on Waveland reflects a choice to look forward and focus on everything that’s good.”
