English indie pop band formed in 2014 in Manchester, fronted by Heather Baron-Gracie. Signed to Dirty Hit; debut album My Mind Makes Noises was released in 2018.

Debut album My Mind Makes Noises (2018) was released on Dirty Hit. The band has production and association links with members of The 1975 (Matthew Healy and George Daniel) as noted in contemporary coverage and in reviews.

GrantNicholas gives Pale Waves' debut My Mind Makes Noises a mixed review, praising melodies and some ballads while criticising juvenile lyrics and occasional over-polish. The review notes clear 1980s pop influences and production ties to The 1975. Overall: promising songwriting tempered by excessive aim-to-please moments.

For:Fans of indie pop, listeners attracted to 1980s-influenced synth-pop, followers of The 1975 and contemporary UK indie.

 With Pale Waves, it feels like we’ve gone back ten, fifteen years, when the NME in England was in constant search of the next big thing to feed to the press and public.
