WAAXBrisbane rockers WAAX have just revealed their debut album, Big Grief, will be released this August.
Due for release on 23 August via Dew Process/Universal Music Australia, the album was recorded over a number of sessions in 2018 with Powderfinger frontman Bernard Fanning and Grammy-winning Nick DiDia (Bruce Springsteen, Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam).
Speaking about the album, singer-songwriter Maz DeVita said, “The whole album is about grief for so many things that I felt when we were writing the record and still do now.
"The way the world is so volatile at the moment, our environment, I talk about anxiety, mania, cutting ties with old friends and habits, my problems in the past with body image, and it’s almost like a big mourning for all that.
"It’s definitely an outpouring of grief in every sense of the word. But as much as I explored darker themes for Big Grief, I framed my melodies and vocal very colourfully and lively.”
The band have partnered the news with the release of a new clip for current single I Am, directed by Jeremy Hancock and Marty Moynihan.
