The Wave Pictures @ Head Of Steam Wednesday June 9th

After wonderful shows in support of Daniel Johnston and at the Star And Shadow last year, we're pleased to bring back The Wave Pictures around the release of their new 'Sweetheart' EP.

Wave Pictures are a long running, ultra DIY troupe of doomed romantics, currently on Moshi Moshi Records (of slow club / the drums fame). One with a huge catalogue of records behind them; including collaborations with darren hayman, mountain goats and herman dune. Their literate, kitchen sink drama pop borrows from jonathan richman, herman dune and imbibes them with a smithslike profundity and an obvious and sharply observational englishness-ness.



QUOTES:
Pitchfork: 7.8
"Like sometime collaborators and fellow logophiles the Mountain Goats, the Wave Pictures write songs for fans of songwriting"

Guardian
"charming, witty pop songs shot through with Jonathan Richman's gawky glee and Suede's doomed provincial romanticism... They owe a certain debt to The Smiths, and Tattersall has Morrissey's knack of marrying the ridiculous and the sublime"
