Elsa

"In Waves"

Toronto dream pop outfit Elsa announced their sophomore EP Never Come Down last summer, but have taken months to finally get it completed. The mini-release will arrive later this month, but first they've shared a different song.

"In Waves" was an outtake from their first EP, and it fits in with that release's crystal-clear, breezy dream pop. The track glides along with clean guitars, sturdy drums and driving bass. While one might predict an explosive crescendo, the song instead stays in a pleasant middle zone. The static nature of the song is almost a surprise in and of itself.

Listen to "In Waves" below. The song will be available on a free 7-inch single limited to 250 copies. To obtain the record, you simply have to attend the multi-faceted Long Winter event, taking place tonight (March 13) at Toronto's Great Hall.
