Listen: Pale Waves get into the holiday spirit with Wham! cover
The holiday season is quickly upon us which means every single radio station is about to play the same obnoxious, holiday-themed tune for the next month and a half. If you feel like you need a different take on one of those overly played tracks, you don’t need to look any further than Pale Waves’ latest release. On Monday (Nov. 19), the Manchester-founded group unleashed their version of Wham!’s “Last Christmas.”
Instead of the late George Michaels’ solemn voice blasting through the speakers, the four-piece combine the sadness of the lyrics with their signature gothic, synth-pop sound. The holiday cover is part of Spotify’s Singles series and was recorded at Metropolis Studios in London.
Listen to Pales Waves’ take on “Last Christmas” above.
The “Last Christmas” cover is the band’s first new material since the release of their debut album earlier this fall. My Mind Makes Noises was released in September and features hit singles “Eighteen,” “There’s a Honey,” “Television Romance,” “Kiss,” and “Noises.”
In support of their debut album’s release, the group is currently in the middle of their headlining North American tour. The fall time jaunt will conclude on Dec. 6 at the Fonda in Los Angeles.
After a short time off, the quartet will hit the touring circuit once again, this time opening for fellow Dirty Hits label mates, the 1975. Joining Pale Waves and the 1975 on the forthcoming tour will be No Rome who happens to also be part of the Dirty Hits family. The complete list of tour dates can be found here.
Listen: Pale Waves drop latest single ‘Black’
Almost a month after announcing the release date for their much-anticipated debut album, Pale Waves have returned with another new song from the forthcoming release. On Tuesday (Aug. 14), the Manchester-founded band premiered their sixth song off My Mind Makes Noises; a track titled “Black.” Heading over the Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show, the new song made its worldwide debut as the host’s World Record. While premiering the new song, Lowe sat down with the band to discuss the recently released new song.
During the sit down (which can be streamed here), Pale Waves frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie admitted that “Black” is one of the band’s most problematic tunes, going through a lot of changes before arriving at its final incarnation.
“It started because I wrote the verse for the song, then I showed Ciara [Doran] and Ciara instantly fell in love with it. I just showed her on my acoustic and she started putting the music together,” reveals Baron-Gracie.
“To be honest, ‘Black’ is probably one of our most problematic songs. It’s been through a lot and it’s put us through a lot. It’s so good to have it finished because it feels like such a long journey with that song. Hopefully, everyone will be really happy with it.”
Listen to “Black” above.
“Black” will join previously released tracks “Eighteen,” “There’s a Honey,” “Television Romance,” “Kiss,” and “Noises” on My Mind Makes Noises. The impending record is due out Sept. 14 through Dirty Hit / Interscope Records. Pre-orders for the album are currently available on the band’s website here.
Back in June, the goth-pop quartet announced plans to hit the road during the months of October, November, and December in support of their at-the-time-not-confirmed album. Their headlining North American tour will begin on Oct. 26 at the Scoot Inn in Austin and conclude on Dec.6 at the Fonda in Los Angeles. Pale Waves’ complete tour itinerary can be found here.

Listen: Pale Waves debut new single
Keeping their social media promise, Pale Waves have returned with yet another new song. On Thursday (June 28), the Manchester-founded band unleashed the official recording for a new track titled “Noises.” Heading over to Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show, the goth-pop act debuted the four-minute tune. For fans of the band, “Noises” may sound a bit familiar. As it turns out, the tune made its live debut at Pale Waves’ sold out Bowery Ballroom show in New York earlier this year.
Listen to “Noises” above.
According to a press release, “Noises” is the second single from the group’s upcoming debut album. If fans are to assume correctly, that means previously released track “Kiss” is the first single off the impending record. While no specific date has been given for the album’s release, the band has hinted at a late-summer time frame. The forthcoming album will be released via Dirty Hit/Interscope Records.
The new album comes on the heels of the band’s recently released EP, All the Things I Never Said. The EP was released back in March and has sprouted several successful singles including “New Year’s Eve,” “My Obsession,” “The Tide,” and “Heavenly.”
To coincide with the record’s reported release time frame, the band announced earlier this month a North American tour. The fall time excursion will find the group performing at venues across the continent during the months of October, November, and December.
Described as their “biggest headline tour,” Pale Waves’ trek will begin on Oct. 26 at the Scoot Inn in Austin and conclude a month and a half later on Dec. 6 at the Fonda in Los Angeles. The full list of upcoming tour dates can be found here.
