Happy Wednesday! This week’s #Happens Alternative Artist Discovery is Circa Waves. “Let’s Leave Together” is the newest single from the Liverpool, England band’s sixth album, Death & Love Pt. 1, a powerful coping mechanism to help process frontman Kieran Shudall’s near-death experience. Kieran says, I was listening to lots of Thundercat and Tame Impala. Their music feels very much like a vibe you can sink into. I wanted the whistle and juno melody to wash over you hopefully as you drive your car into the sunset. Either that or just put a bounce in your step as you walk to work.” Big thanks to Lisa Cristiano from Mars Music for VIP Access  Get to know Circa Waves on Artist Discovery Of The Week.
