**PRE-ORDER** THE WAVE PICTURES – Gained / Lost – Vinyl LP Free Delivery

Classic songwriting, virtuosic musicianship and dream logic lyrics. The Wave Pictures return with Gained/Lost, a record that brings together 60s garage rock, 70s classic rock and 90s American indie with a DIY spirit that has guided the band for nearly three decades

Across the album, David Tattersall (guitar and lead vocals), Franic Rozycki (bass), and Jonny Helm (drums) capture the joy of playing together– a chemistry that has cemented their status as one of Britain’s most enduring cult bands.

Tattersall’s lyrics arrive like postcards from the space where memories fragment and dreams fill the cracks– reflecting the self as a child, as an elder, and as an observer from a neighbour’s window. Lyrics float over the guitars and drums like figures in the sky in a Chagall painting. The Wave Pictures always give the mundane its magical due.

Throughout the album, David Tattersall’s guitar playing is inventive, melodic, emotional and virtuosic. His playing at times is as lyrical as Jerry Garcia, at others spikey and spindley like Tom Verlaine, but always emotional and on point for the song. No wonder Marc Riley describes David Tattersall as ”The greatest guitarist of his generation.”
