PALE WAVES THE NEW ALBUM UNWANTED OUT TODAY VIA DIRTY HIT
2022 UK TOUR ON SALE NOW
Pale Waves continue a hot streak of worldwide radio premieres with BBC Radio 1 making new single ‘Jealousy’ their Hottest Record. Taken from the new album Unwanted, due 12 August via Dirty Hit, the release arrives alongside a new video, which effortlessly showcases the band’s chic and stylised approach to alternative rock.
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ‘JEALOUSY’
The aptly titled ‘Jealousy’ finds frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie playing upon her overly obsessive personality. “Some may see it as ridiculous,” she says, “but I love a bit of jealousy – not too much, but just enough… I want jealousy in a relationship because it shows me the person only has eyes for me and me only.”
That narrative is continued throughout Unwanted. Where Pal
“The album dives into feelings that I felt not only needed to be written but I felt like our fans want to hear,” Baron-Gracie explains. “Almost everyone has felt like they don’t belong, or has been made to feel like they’re not good enough. That’s a consistent theme that I’m seeing from our fans – that their family doesn’t approve of them, or their friends have disowned them because they’ve come out. So Unwanted had to be honest, provocative and loud. Not only thematically, but in the music as well.”

Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Zakk Cervini, whose credits read like a who’s who of alt royalty – from Blink-182 and Modern Baseball, to Halsey and Machine Gun Kelly, Unwanted is a record that reaches out into the passionate community of misfits and LGBTQI fans around the band, tapping into darker emotions than ever before while also striking a fresh tone of defiance.
Pale Waves will follow a packed summer of UK festival appearances with their biggest UK headline tour to date. Beginning with a hometown date at Manchester’s Albert Hall on 25th November, the tour will culminate with a show at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on Wednesday 30th November. Tickets are available now.
