Pale Waves announce details of fourth album, Smitten

Written between the US and UK over a two year period, Smitten finds the band reflecting upon their Northern roots. Deviating from the rebellious pop-punk sound of 2022 album, Unwanted, this new record is full of jangly alt-pop that sounds fresh out of Manchester.

“I found myself writing about not just a certain time period, but my whole life, from years ago,” Heather Baron-Gracie says. “When I fall in love, I fall deep, and it’s interesting to me that you can feel so fascinated and smitten with someone and then they can become a total stranger. So I feel like Smitten really summarised perfectly what I felt for others at a certain point.”
