Circa Waves’ double album Death & Love is a euphoric, life-affirming response to frontman Kieran Shudalls brush with mortality. After a shocking heart diagnosis and emergency surgery, Shudall channeled the experience into a raw and cathartic collection of anthemic indie bangers equal parts nostalgia, reflection, and celebration.

Inspired by early-2000s nights out in Liverpool and driven by a desire to make the music the band truly loves, the album embraces both joy and vulnerability. From the punchy optimism of Everything Changed to the intimate lullaby Blue Damselfly, its a record about facing fear, rediscovering purpose, and dancing through the chaos.

Recent single Lets Leave Together captures the anxiety of social scenes and the quiet comfort of connection, while upcoming track Cherry Bomb explodes with festival-ready energy a signal of the bands finest form to date
