"Is it right? That anybody fights for love"
Delusions, from the very beginning feels like a tumultuous battle cry of sounds, you swear you can hear police sirens within the blistering layers of screaming guitars, feral bass and tom tom drum beat and the raspy rebel yell vox. It feels like a revolution inside ones own heart or out in the streets. The track by Carpet Waves, the potent sounds of "four lads from Düsseldorf, Wuppertal and Cologne (Germany)" feels so punk and so cinematic.
Delusions is from the band's current 2020 EP, "Darkness and Bright Thoughts" ( Listen: https://linktr.ee/carpetwaves ).

The five new songs on Carpet Waves' EP “Darkness and Bright Thoughts” were created between boozy nights, broken heads and melancholy moments. The ideas developed in crashing jam sessions, were packed in crisp indie compositions and merged with elements from alternative, post-punk and shoegaze to form the Carpet Waves sound that fans already know from the energetic live shows.
In the past few years, the sound of the four lads from Düsseldorf, Wuppertal and Cologne has continuously developed due to influences from the local scene. In 2018 the EP "1165 / Particles" was released as a completely filmed live session. With her, Benny, Kai, Javi and Tim were able to take the ambience of the big stages for the first time: Their performance at the Open Source Festival and the Düsseldorf University Festival as well as a live session with the renowned Cardinal Sessions distinguished the summer. The following year the band was able to attract further attention with the release of their danceable single "Dust" - followed by the victory of the Düsseldorf artist festival including professional band coaching and a show in the Netherlands at the Dvers Showcase Festival. The moments and nights captured by photographer Timo Vogt over the past 12 months accompany the entire process of creating the EP and the energy of the four friends.
