The Ninth Wave's sophomore album, Heavy Like a Headache, produced by the band themselves and mixed by Max Heyes (Massive Attack, Doves, Primal Scream) explores feelings of grief, anxiety, anger, and loneliness.
It represents the 4-piece's most triumphant and diverse body of work to date. Heavy Like A Headache is the band's second full-length album following their 2019 debut Infancy, which garnered widespread critical acclaim and nominations for the AIM Award Album Of The Year and Scottish Album of the Year.
Constantly developing and pushing their sound into exciting new territory, sonically The Ninth Wave are challenging expectations and preconceptions of their music with their second album. Leaning toward influences from contemporaries such as Massive Attack, Young Fathers, Mount Kimbie, and Portishead - the quartet assuredly retain their own distinct songwriting craft and approach.
