Music Week coverstars Pale Waves have announced that their debut full-length album, My Mind Makes Noises, will be released on September 14 Dirty Hit/Interscope Records. The band unveiled their new single Eighteen on BBC Radio 1 as Annie Mac's Hottest Record.
Pale Waves appeared in Music Week’s On The Radar section in March last year, and singer/guitarist Heather Baron-Gracie appeared on our Class Of 2018 cover story alongside Mabel and Catherine McGrath.
Speaking about the album in the interview, Baron-Gracie said: “A lot of people have only heard our pop songs, so I can’t wait to give them the other side of Pale Waves, which is super dark and vulnerable. We're growing so fast, I just want to keep that energy. I want to see us grow a lot more. I want more faces at the shows, I just want more of everything!”
Subscribers can read our full January interview with Baron-Gracie here.
In April, Dirty Hit founder Jamie Oborne told Music Week that Pale Waves have signed a deal with Interscope in the USA.
