The WAEVE, a creative collaboration between Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall, has released their debut album in 2022, a self-titled collection that showcases their innovative approach to indie music. This album features tracks where Graham prominently plays the saxophone, an instrument he first embraced in the ’80s, adding a unique layer to the sound.
The first single, ‘Can I Call You’, begins as a heartfelt ballad that transitions into a krautrock-inspired piece, highlighted by a captivating guitar solo from Coxon. ‘All Along’ introduces listeners to the cittern, an ancient folk lute, while Rose adds depth with her piano and the ARP 2000 modular synth.
The album captures a range of influences, evoking the folk rock of Sandy Denny and the experimental sounds reminiscent of Kevin Ayers and Van der Graaf Generator. Experience the diverse soundscape of The WAEVE and discover the top indie albums featuring saxophone.
