waveform* – “Lonely”
Since 2017, waveform*, the Connecticut duo of Jarett Denner and Dan Poppa, have been cranking out a steady stream of DIY recordings. Today, waveform* — asterisk theirs — announce that their new album Antarctica is coming this spring, and they’ve shared “Lonely,” that LP’s first single and opening track.
“Lonely” is a nice example of waveform*’s whole style at work. It’s a hushed, sensitive piece of bedroom-pop, built on acoustic guitars and twinkly synths. The vocals have the kind of hushed delivery that suggests someone not wanting to wake up a roommate, and the lyrics are all about being so in love that you miss someone terribly when they’re not home. There’s also a nice slide-guitar solo that I wasn’t expecting. Below, listen to “Lonely” and check out the Antarctica tracklist.
