Day Wave has joined forces with THE FADER to begin streaming his highly anticipated debut EP, Headcase.

“In the fall of last year, I moved into a house in Oakland with the idea of starting a new musical project,” Day Wave mastermind Jackson Phillips told THE FADER. “I wanted to do something guitar-based, but I didn’t play guitar. So I bought a telecaster and learned to play along the way. After experimenting with recording through different tape decks (and listening to a lot of Joy Division), I started to find the sound that would eventually become Day Wave.”

We accidentally stumbled upon Day Wave last month and haven’t looked back since. Phillips’ freshman undertaking is undeniably charming, catchy as all heck, and without a doubt one of our favorite releases of the year. If you feel the same way, sound off in the replies.

Headcase arrives this Friday, July 17. Pre-orders are ongoing.
