The Wave Pictures are delighted to share the video for their new single “Shelly”, which is taken from their recent album Look Inside Your Heart (out now via Moshi Moshi).
Singer and guitarist Dave Tattersall
The video features Holly Holden, who sang backing vocals on the song (and various other tracks on the album including “Look Inside Your Heart” and “Hazy Moon”.) Holly said of the experience, “It was a huge pleasure to be invited to sing on the record and live out all my rock and roll backing vocalist dreams. The Booze Cube is one of my favourite places to record, it’s like singing in a living room full of friends after an evening at the pub.”
Watch
The band will be embarking on a full UK tour in January and February, including their rescheduled London date at Koko on 21 February. Look Inside Your Heart was The Wave Pictures second release of 2018, following Brushes With Happiness in the summer.
A warm, joyous record celebrating friendship, happiness and drunken party times, the album received critical acclaim from Uncut magazine who gave them a full page lead review calling it; “literate,
Look Inside Your Heart was recorded late at night whilst inebriated back at the tiny Booze Cube Studio in Stoke Newington, live to reel-to-reel tape with no computers of any kind. The album is peppered with giggles and chatter, which adds a sense of spontaneity and place. As singer and guitarist Dave Tattersall explains: ”Look Inside Your Heart is intended as a rallying cry in the war against the machines; while a computer may have beaten world-champion human being Lee Sedol at Go, a machine could never have made music as joyful, spontaneous, happy, poetic, broken and rambunctious as this. Look Inside Your Heart is a bullet in the face of all pop-poseurs and robot wannabes, a die-hard continuation of the vulnerable rebel tradition of rock and roll music, a vibrant work of outsider art and a masterpiece of electric folk.”
Twenty years after forming in Wymeswold, Leicestershire as teenagers, The Wave Pictures have gone on to be one of the UK’s most prolific and beloved bands. Fond of classic rock, jazz
Look Inside Your Heart is poignant, witty, wise and wonderful.
