Cool Waves

The Zeldas

I don’t know about you, but to me nothing screams “summer” more than new music from a local shoegaze band like The Zeldas! Their new album, Cool Waves, has come to fruition despite some significant hurdles, yet the timing of its release couldn’t be more perfect. I would even go so far as to say that the band must have insight into some meteorological prophecy as I stand outside in some much-needed drought relief listening to what is becoming my favourite track, “Late Summer Rain.” “Sunshine Sunflower” made me laugh out loud because it just sounds like fun to me, and in the same vein, “Ocean of Emotion/You Are My Sunshine” will surely whisk you away to a safe and happy place where you can ride out the tail end of this surreal summer on a beach, sitting under a tree, or paddling out on a surfboard in the frigid waters of Lake Superior.
