Austin-based band Living Set unveil a ghostly, dreamy noise-pop appeal on new single “Last Wave” — maneuvering seamlessly from a lush array of synths and percussive pit-pattering into a textural, noisy invigoration. “You and I were growing old together in the dark,” the mystique-filled vocals let out as the momentum builds, culminating in moody guitar tones and multi-layered vocals that echo both post-punk and dreamy pop elements.
A hypnotic spell takes hold across the first half, then arriving into a final minute with a blissful array of guitar distortion. “Last Wave” is a dynamic, riveting success from Living Set, which comprises Quin Galavis (Dead Space), Annecy Liddell (Knife in the Water),Matt Hammer (Strange Boys, Black Joe Lewis), and Lex Trevino.
