The Pastel Waves - Selenophile Echo (LP/CD) (pre-order)

Label - Spinout Nuggets

Cat No. - SN195

Release date - 27th November 2026

The Pastel Waves are a Medway-based indie band who fuse their collective influences of New Wave, Indie and Brit Pop.

With a full line-up in 2017, it was actually 2015 that Rob Percy and Chris Parsons (previous members of Medway band Speedwell) began writing new material together. Soon after, they knew they was onto something with this new project, and thus invited Joe Liste-Romero and Mike Grigson (previous members of Medway band The Ambience) to join to add drums and vocals to the songs’ bare bones.

Their debut album ‘All Things To All People’ was released in March 2019 on Trouserphonic Records, with a follow-up digital single ‘Ten’, and the CD EP ‘I Hate Myself For Wanting It’ in May 2020. 

In April 2021, the band released ‘The Influencers EP’ on vinyl via Spinout Nuggets, with four strong tracks, each receiving enough attention to force them to continue recording. The band released their second album, ‘Back In The Land Of The Living’, in 2022, also receiving much interest.

A limited lathe cut 7” was released in 2023, followed by a four-track mini-album, ‘Between Midnight And Morning’, in late 2024.

In recent years, The Pastel Waves have supported My Life Story, The Wedding Present, Chris Helme/Nigel Clark, Tom Hingley, Space and The Bluetones, with their very own Platform 3 Club, , based in Medway, and have also played Shiiine On Weekender (Minehead Butlins) and a few more festivals too.

Once again, The Pastel Waves found themselves in The Moon Studio, under the hands of Rob Grigg (ex-The Dentists, currently These Guilty Men), with some time to gain six songs for two continuous grooves.

Limited to 300 copies on vinyl record (also on CD).
