Brooklyn, NY indie/emo trio wakelee has announced an April 14th release date for its self-titled 12-track album, produced by Superbloom’s Brian DiMeglio (Bartees Strange, Stay Inside, Proper).

Frontman/guitarist Alex Bulmer says “We cannot be more excited about how these songs came out. It represents both where our music is and our best next step forward. Having a full-length album out for people to listen to is a collective bucket list item for us.”

Watch for the new single coming on March 10.

Formed in Brooklyn in 2019 by Bulmer, his identical twin brother David (drums) and Elliot Shiang (vocals/bass), they met at a friend’s show in NYC and immediately bonded over Halal food and indie music. The trio has since released an EP, a healthy batch of emo-tinged singles, including the recently released tracks “Mood Rings,” “Everything Under The Sun” and “Outside.”

“Mood Rings”

Alex says, “Mood Rings is inspired by the feeling of not knowing how to feel after something bad happens and the general processing of emotions.”

“Outside” Single Art

“Outside”

“Outside was written from the idea that I often use a nice sunny day to distract myself and to clear my head, but living in New York doesn’t always allow that.”

“Everything Under The Sun”

“Everything Under the Sun is about a relationship that slipped away and all the thoughts that swarm when you get a moment to yourself.”
