about

Welcome to Revolution, the debut studio album from The Data Waves.

Introduction by Gavin Good via Smile Politely Magazine:

"Luckily for The Data Waves, they began writing the music for their debut album more than a year before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Dazzling with their jazzy, instrumental funk, the group has played a lot of local shows, rocking just about every Urbana basement with their house shows over the last two years.

Every bit of the band's radiant, layered energy shines through on Revolution, a listen that invigorates as much as it allows for inward reflection. Made up by Kevin King on the saxophone and flute, Sammy Gessesse on guitar, Shravan Raghuram on drums, Aditya Kashyap on bass and Joey Parker on the keyboard and synthesizer, they've had the album in the works for two years as they explored their natural sound and capabilities.

They released three studio EP’s and a live EP over the last two years, too, and in that time, honed their talents and are constructing a vibrant catalogue. It feels odd to call a group’s first album a "coming-of-age" project, but there’s a different thoroughness on Revolution than on Lilac or Lady In Red (which has a superb flip of Curtis Mayfield’s “Move On Up”, by the way).

After a hard, long year, Revolution is a celebration of life, the persistence of the human spirit and a rededication to coming together."

about

The Data Waves Illinois

The Data Waves have that slow-jam, stank-face, late-night car ride vibe. Their fusion of funk drums and bass, jazzy chord progressions, and soulful horns creates a symphony of complex, entrancing sound.
