Bay Area Indie
Upcoming Day Wave Tour
Essentially the solo vehicle for producer-songwriter Jackson Phillips, Day Wave makes atmospheric, new wave influenced synth and guitar-based pop. Phillips is known for his yearning, often melancholic songs that combine the immediacy of lo-fi bedroom productions with the sonically blurred colorations of noise pop and indie rock. In 2015 Phillips self-released Day Wave's debut EP, Headcase, featuring the song “Drag”. He returned the next year with Day Wave's second EP, Hard To Read. His music spread widely on various streaming platforms, leading to interest from record labels. In 2017 he signed to Harvest Records and released his debut album, The Days We Had. Produced by Phillips and Mark Rankin (Bloc Party, Adele), the record took Day Wave's bedroom rock sound and expanded upon it. After a few years of touring and producing for other artists, 2020 saw the arrival of the four-song EP Crush, featuring the song “Potions”.
