The Sonder Bombs have launched two albums price of rip-roaring pop-punk already — 2018’s MODERN FEMALE ROCKSTAR and 2021’s Clothbound — however it looks as if the Cleveland band is heading in a distinct route for no matter’s subsequent, as evidenced by their new single “waste.” It’s a muted, water-logged pop track, and Willow Hawks’ vocals are stretched out and twisted right into a digitized warble.

“I’ve been actually blessed to have folks I really like round me who encourage me to be myself. Let me develop in any route I would like,” Hawks stated in a press release to Underneath The Radar. “‘waste’ looks like the primary actually trustworthy track I’ve written for myself since ‘Twinkle Lights.’” Hawks continued:

I wrote it on ukulele initially and transposed it to synth. For me, experimenting with new sounds has at all times been thrilling however I used to be cautious to not stray too far-off from what I believed I used to be “supposed” to make. After I introduced the demo to Jimmy & Jer, they had been actually hyped concerning the deviation from our earlier work. Attending to dive in for the primary time to one thing I’m completely unfamiliar with was enthralling. I plan on doing way more diving.

Test it out alongside the band’s upcoming tour dates beneath.
