Produced and recorded in London in early 2022, The WAEVE album features 10 new songs by songwriters Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall. By combining their creative forces as The WAEVE the two have been able to push beyond their instrumental comfort zones. Many of the songs feature saxophone, one of the first instruments Graham played in the 80s.The first single, "Can I Call You," begins as a ballad before morphing into a krautrock-style motoric number with Graham's guitar solo. The WAEVE recalls the raucous folk-rock of Sandy Denny and John & Beverly Martyn, with "Kill Me Again" and "All Along" featuring Graham on cittern (medieval folk lute) and Rose on piano and ARP2000 modular synths.
