Since their inception in 2019, Graywave have released some of the most hypnotic and alluring
music that falls somewhere in the realm of shoegaze and grunge. They channel all the

reach, it’s about longing for a memory that will never repeat. When writing these songs I
was heavily focussed on the way that time continues to move along without pausing for a breath, and the bittersweet feeling that realisation evokes’
