The debut album of Slowwves, the band that is sure to attract the most attention in the Asian shoegaze scene in 2025, is finally complete!
Hailing from Bangkok, this world-class heavy and beautiful shoegaze resonates with a soft, sad yet intense sound.
Slowwves is a shoegaze/alternative rock band formed in Bangkok in 2023. Drawing influences from classic shoegaze to cutting-edge indie bands, they create nostalgic, melancholic music. Jill's vocals, shining like tiny lights in the darkness, resonate emotionally amid a sound that utilizes dreamy reverb and fuzzy distortion. Slowwves' debut single, "Anywhere Else," released in March 2024, generated buzz from the start, with the music video surpassing 100,000 views. This track, with its dreamy, floating melody and vocals that combine loneliness and strength with a sound that blends alternative and shoegaze, demonstrated the band's quality right from the start. Their debut album, "PERFECT EVASION," also includes beautiful music that will captivate shoegaze fans, including M3 "SWS," featuring vocals that blend like mist into a fantastical roar; M5 "Sen," inspired by the film "Spirited Away," and expressing the idea that the most important thing is to "never forget who you really are"; M7 "Evangeline," a collaboration with Death Of Heather, a prominent figure in the Thai shoegaze scene who has also performed in Japan; and M8 "Amber," the most beautiful and pop song in the Asian shoegaze scene of the 2020s. Of course, the unreleased tracks are just as high-quality as their existing tracks, and the lead track, M2 "Labyrinth," is Slowwves' most fast-paced track to date, with its driving guitar and tense chorus melody line making it an impressive track.
