Circa Waves are an English indie rock band formed in Liverpool in 2013. Renowned for their bold and melodious indie rock, Circa Waves initially garnered attention in the 2010s through catchy singles such as "Get Away" and "Stuck in My Teeth." Throughout their musical career, Circa Waves have grown and matured artistically, as evident in albums like "Different Creatures" released in 2017 and "What's It Like Over There?" in 2019. Those projects exhibit their sensibilities of creating distinctive and captivating post-punk anthems. Their 2020 album release "Sad Happy" secured the fourth position on the U.K. albums chart. They made an electrifying comeback in 2023 with their album "Never Going Under".
Written throughout the pandemic and produced by Kieran Shuddall himself, 'Never Going Under' is the most comprehensive Circa Waves album to date, both thematically and musically. On the song 'Northern Town', Shuddall sings of his father delivering him on the landing of their house, which leads onto 'Carry You Home', reflecting on the birth of the frontman's own child - the 11 tracks here carve a path through the frontman's entire life, and onwards into the future. The path ahead is completely unknown to them, but they're ready to tread it fearlessly.
Musically, it's also the most wide-ranging record they've produced, from the sprightly indie-pop of 'Do You Wanna Talk' to the gigantic 'Hell On Earth' and blissful 'Your Ghost'. Shuddall describes a "sad euphoria" at the core of his musical inspirations for the albu. "Even if I'm talking about something quite moody or something a little bit down in the lyrics, it's good to put a spin on things," he says. "The album's called 'Never Going Under', which we want to be a resilient message, and for kids to feel like they can dance around to it in a cathartic way, because everyone's been pent up for the last few years." Shuddall calls the album "a snapshot of the fear we all feed today and the resilience we will need to get through it", and the music on the record is plenty big and bright enough to grasp hope from hopelessness.
Shuddall says: "Never Going Under speaks to that uniquely modern phenomenon of genuinely not knowing what type of world our kids are going to find themselves in in 30 years. Physically, environmentally, politically - we are completely in the unknown. That scares us all, but ultimately we know we can never give up on the future, because how can you? The songs on the album are written differently from the previous work we've put out. They are written from the perspective of my son and also from my own current experience of the climate today."
