Maayan Nidam will release a new album as The Waves.
Nidam, a staple of the Perlon label and founder of Hellium, has previously released as The Waves once before, in 2014 as part of a collaborative EP on Wolf + Lamb with Markus Nikolaus and Louis McGuire. The sound is inspired by punk and psychedelic rock, and it places Nidam’s vocals front and centre.
māyā, taken from the Sanskrit word for “illusion” or “deceit,” comprises six tracks of pop, indie, and new wave. Nidam sings on five, and there’s one finishing instrumental jam.
The record launches Cool Mom Records, Nidam’s new label.
