“…he sounds a bit like Daughn Gibson stuck in a lift and his songs are at once built on retro ideas and heading for pastures new at the same time.” This Is Fake DIY

“Deep male vocals dancing around 80s nostalgia, muffled drum beats and surf guitar making it into a wonderful perfect storm of dream pop bliss.” The Only Magic Left Is Art

Feral Youth is the debut LP by Wakes, the project of Tim Oxton, based in Boston, Massachusetts (US). Started in late 2012 the ’50s-meets-’80s sensation previously released music under the name ‘Polaroids’, causing a blogging stir with a cover of Grimes ‘Oblivion’.

Coming out of the same Boston scene which has recently spawned the likes of Speedy Ortiz and Pile, Wakes describes his music as “built on a foundation of reverb, misplaced 80s nostalgia, and late nights.”

This is a hugely exciting release for us as it is the first time we’ve released an act from outside of Wales!

A black vinyl pressing with reverse side card printed sleeve limited to 250 copies.
