DREAMWAVE POLYSTYRENE IRENE

Bristol-based psych quartet Dreamwave have shared their new single, ‘Polystyrene Irene’. It’s a big, powerful track that hooks you in from its opening seconds and in just over two minutes, we’re taken on a tour through fuzzy blues riffs, huge drums and snarling, distorted vocal lines. On the track’s playful inspiration, the band explain: “I was just feeling creative and had recently listened to Polythene Pam by the Beatles. My nan is called Irene and she’s a big character, loves smoking ciggies - a real force of nature. I changed the title to polystyrene to rhyme with her name.” Catch the band live around the UK this Autumn. -Dan Peeke
