Following the video for “Jim”, The Wave Pictures return with another thrilling 360° live video recorded as they were creating their new album Brushes With Happiness. This one is for the new single “The Burnt Match”, which encapsulates the honesty and spontaneity that they were aiming for when they recorded the album throughout the night in January at The Booze Cube. The video was debuted by The Line Of Best Fit.

Dave Tattersall says of the track:

This one is the kind of song I would have tried to do many times in the past but wouldn’t have really pulled it off before, because I would have over-thought it. As Neil Young says ‘’the more you think, the more you stink!!’’ But we just improvised these songs on the fly, on the spur of the moment. So you can hear them come together with a lot more vitality than they would have done in the past. Everything about the music business is designed to make you second-guess yourself constantly, and this is part of the reason why all the music they have now is a load of rubbish. You have to fight against that every day. Everybody has an opinion. They look at you and tell you ‘’if you do this and this and this you could be Radiohead’’. I’d rather die.”

 

Brushes with Happiness sees The Wave Pictures in contemplative and expansive mood. Mellower and more reflective than last year’s rock’n’roll surf-garage-rock collaboration with Charles Watson from Slow Club, as new band The Surfing Magazines, or 2016’s blues driven Bamboo Diner in the Rain or 2015’s Billy Childish produced Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon. This album is more akin to 2016’s acoustic release A Season in Hull, which, like Brushes With Happiness, was recorded live in one room in a single day.

Although Dave had written the lyrics in advance, he hadn’t put them to music and hadn’t played them to Johnny and Franic before the session. None of it existed in any shape or form before they put it to tape. For songs recorded in this way, Brushes with Happiness really does surpass all expectations. From the languid guitar licks to Dave’s faltering vocals, every note oozes emotional truth. Brushes With Happiness sees a band at the top of their game. No other band could just improvise an album out of thin air, no trouble at all, and have it sound THIS good.

The Wave Pictures have announced their biggest London headline show to date at Koko on 22 November 2018 (tickets here), following the release of their two albums this year; Brushes With Happiness in June and Look Inside Your Heart in October. The band will be touring the rest of the UK in June but London fans will have to wait a little bit longer to catch the band live but it will be worth the wait. The trio of Jonny Helm (drums), Dave Tattersall (guitar & vocals) and Franic Rozycki (bass) are one of the UK’s best live bands, bound together by a long entwined history and an almost telepathic musical bond. They bring unbridled joy to their performances as well as a true connection with the audience, anchored by startling musicianship and raw energy.
