“There is a rawness, both musical and emotional, proving that the simplest ways to communicate feelings are sometimes the most effective” Pitchfork Nicole Schneit aka Air Waves is the creator one of the greatest albums of recent years, 2018’s acclaimed ‘Warrior’ is a stunning masterpiece that shifts through the personal to the political. Newly signed to Fire Records, Air Waves has just released brand-new music from their highly anticipated new album ‘The Dance’ set for release in September 2022. Their first new music with the label, it’s waited three years to see the light of day. Arriving now, blinking and smiling in the widening light of 2022, feeling more needed and necessary but also more joyous than ever before. It features performances from Cass McCombs, Skyler Skjelset, Luke Temple, Brian Betancourt, Rina Mushonga, Frankie Cosmos, Lispector, David Christian, Ethan Sass, and Ben Florencio. Releasing their first independent album back in 2009 under the Air Waves moniker – a name inspired by a Guided By Voices song – subsequent albums like 2010’s ‘Dungeon Dots’ featured guest vocals from fellow Brooklynite Sharon Van Etten and was released on Underwater Peoples Records. Both 2015’s ‘Parting Glances’ and 2018’s ‘Warrior’ were released on Western Vinyl with the latter crystallising Schneit’s vision of loose-but-focused, convivial but startling pop. Air Waves’ music at its root is beautifully simple, instantly accessible and entirely addictive.
