Liverpool’s indie powerhouse Circa Waves have dropped new single ‘Like You Did Before’ – taken from their forthcoming new album Death & Love Pt.1 – out January 31st, 2025.
The track follows the album’s supreme first offering ‘We Made It’, followed by the topical ‘American Dream’, and channels the 2000s New York scene, serving up a nice big slab of Strokes-y dancefloor destruction. Listen to ‘Like You Did Before’ HERE.
Frontman Kieran Shudall says; “This song is a reminder of a moment in my life that many people don’t know about. Just before my heart operation lying in hospital when life felt uncertain and fragile, I would imagine myself in a packed sweaty indie club, dancing like my life depended on it. It was a daydream, a form of escape and this song fits perfectly into that vision.”
Circa Waves will return to the road in February & March next year, embarking on their biggest UK headline tour yet, playing to their ever-expanding fanbase. Across 12 dates, they’ll play to thousands of fans across the UK, including a night at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on March 26th and what will be a truly special, final night hometown show at Liverpool’s Olympia March 1st. Tickets available here.
Both terrifying and liberating to write, Death & Love Pt.1 is an urgent, 9-track hit of cathartic guitar-pop, serving as a powerful coping mechanism to help process frontman Kieran Shudall’s near-death experience.
And the results are quite simply stunning. Self-produced by Kieran, the nine tracks that make up Death & Love Pt.1 ooze nostalgia, and hark back to the sounds and themes that made Shudall want to pick up a guitar in the very first place.
