Slowwves “PERFECT EVASION” CD

The debut album of Slowwves, the band that will attract the most attention in the Asian shoegaze scene in 2025, has finally been completed. From Bangkok, the world-class heavy and beautiful shoegaze resonates with a faint, sad, and intense sound.

Slowwves is a shoegaze/alternative rock band formed in Bangkok in 2023. They are influenced by classic shoegaze to the latest indie bands, and play nostalgic and melancholic music. Jill's vocals shine like a small light in the darkness in a sound that utilizes dreamy reverb and fuzzy distortion, and resonate emotionally. That is the music of Slowwves.

Slowwves' debut single "Anywhere Else," released in March 2024, has been a hot topic since the beginning, with the music video reaching over 100,000 views. This song features a dreamy, floating melody line and vocals that are both lonely and powerful, blended into a sound that mixes alternative and shoegaze, and it is a song that shows the band's quality from the very beginning.

Their debut album "PERFECT EVASION" also includes beautiful music that has captivated shoegaze fans since their debut, such as track 3 "SWS," which features vocals that blend like mist into the fantastical roar, track 5 "Sen," which was inspired by "Spirited Away" and conveys the message that the most important thing is "not to forget who you really are," track 7 "Evangeline," a collaboration with Death Of Heather, a prominent figure in the Thai shoegaze scene who has previously performed in Japan, and track 8 "Amber," the most beautiful and pop song in the Asian shoegaze scene of the 2020s.

Of course, the unreleased songs are just as high quality as the existing songs, and the lead track, M2 "Labyrinth", is the most fast-paced song in Slowwves' history, with a driving guitar and a tense chorus melody line that is simply impressive.

Slowwves is a band from Asia, but they express their sound style in a way that is similar to the most popular artists in the Western shoegaze scene, such as Wisp and Glixen, and they have already caught fire in Japan, having been selected as the support act for Wisp's Bangkok performance. They are also increasingly involved with Japanese artists, and this summer they are scheduled to perform with Japanese shoegaze artists such as Asu no Jokei, April Blue, and Cephalo.

With the release of their debut album "PERFECT EVASION," they are sure to catch fire. They are on their way to becoming one of Asia's leading shoegaze bands!
