Splashh - Waiting A Lifetime

Rating:

Fuzzing and dipping through electric portraits of punk, psych and pop.

For Splashh, ‘Waiting A Lifetime’ is an important record. After creating their own carved out universe off the back of debut album ‘Comfort’, this is the moment where a band confirms what they’re about, and doing it in style cements who they are. With ‘Waiting A Lifetime’, Splashh not only confirm the ambition of their debut but build pillars upon it.

Drenched in neo-pop glory yet surrounded in a fuzzy psychedelic packaging, ‘Waiting A Lifetime’ is a record that stands firmly on its own two feet. ‘See Through’ is a spiralling yet decadent dive into a hazy wonderland, a feeling that carries throughout, breathing at every moment through tracks such as ‘Come Back’ and the decadent pulls of ‘Honey and Salt’. ‘Closer’ lifts with an effortless electro-pop gaze, an alluring crunch of dreaming that soothes with 80s highs and garage-rock detours that punch with a classic pop sensibility, again dazzling on further cuts like ‘Under The Moon’ and ‘No 1 Song In Hell’.
