The Waventiced married Joy Division gloom and Misfits menace in the Post-Punk tendril of connection, ‘David’ –

In an era where everything is AI and little is authentically autonomous, alienation is at the point of suffocation. The Waventiced let oxygen breathe on the airwaves through the rife with resilience riffs in David. With the kind of guitar lines you’d expect to hear on an instrumental piece solely dedicated to feeling the resolve in the emotive capacity of strings and amplification, David sets an instantly arresting tone before the Joy Division-esque melody meets the visceralism of Misfits.

To say The Waventiced has found a distinctive sonic signature is an understatement, yet any words fall flat in the face of the unfeigned hook-rife volition of the track. It may not carry the polish of something cut at Abbey Road, but that only intensifies the impact as frustration is outpoured through piercing diction. The darkwave polyphonic synths that slip in before the outro subvert expectations and prove The Waventiced is a true post-punk poet at heart.

Written and recorded in a home studio, David was produced and arranged with the intent to connect with those who feel alienated and as a means of personal liberation. Raw, emotive vocals and charged instrumentation weave into a haunting, introspective mood that refuses to loosen its grip.

David is now available on all major streaming platforms via this link.
