Dutch trio Stillwave fuse the ethereal elements of shoegaze with a deeply literate form of songwriting.
Often endearingly personal, the band's music has an emotive edge, but also a playful side, one that likes to beguile.
Debut album 'Sell Another Soul' arrives on November 3rd, with Stillwave sharing new cut 'Adeleide'.
A tale of sheer abandon, it nabs the name of the Australian city for its quest for a carefree life. Marcel Jongegan (vocals) explains:
"The song is about the quiet moments on the back seat of our old Honda Civic which Michaël inherited from his grandfather. Whether we drove home from our practice room at one o'clock at night or to Calais for a couple of shows in England, we decided to capture those emotions by recording a large part of the songs at night."
The music video was directed and filmed by Adriaan Hogervorst of Subliminar films. Starring Jop Gorris the video expands on the concept of the song and transforms it into what we can describe as nothing else than 'The Man with the Ladder…'
“I take my clothes off
Wade into the lake
Bared, braced and caught off
Onto the float of your body”
