Wave - State of Mind

Niagara Falls pop duo Wave has a confession: its last album used “a lot of loops.” That must explain why “California” sounded so synthetic. Paul Gigliotti and partner Dave Thomson claim they wanted “a more organic sound” with their second album, including “live drums and a real piano.” Imagine! Although they fancy themselves the next Hall & Oates, Wave won’t get any street cred with songs as drippy as “Moon Under Water” and “Don’t Say Sarah.” But their pretty-boy looks are sure to guarantee them more heavy rotation on MuchMusic.
