CD Circa Waves – What's It Like Over There?

Circa Waves mark a bold new chapter with their third studio album, What's It Like Over There? (2019).

Following the darker, guitar-heavy tones of Different Creatures, this record sees the Liverpudlian band stepping away from the restrictions of being a traditional "rock band." Instead, they embrace a sophisticated blend of indie and pop-rock, trading surging guitars for delicate piano melodies, anthemic rhythms, and a newfound sense of musical maturity.

Frontman Kieran Shudhall successfully "blurs the lines" between band roles, resulting in an honest, human exploration of love, loneliness, and integrity. Whether you are looking for an unapologetic pop anthem or a reflective piano ballad, this album offers a perfectly crafted soundtrack that feels both fresh and nostalgic.

Key Tracks to Spin:

• "Movies" – An upbeat, window-down pop anthem reminiscent of early Young Chasers.
• "Sorry I’m Yours" – A vibrant, pop-infused track about the vulnerability of love.
• "Passport" – A brilliant fusion of a piano ballad and a soaring pop anthem.
• "Times Won’t Change Me" – A defiant, mature statement on standing your ground.

What's It Like Over There? is a confident, "knight takes king" moment in the band's career, proving that Circa Waves are capable of evolving without losing their signature sound.
