Dead Waves frontman Teddy Panopoulos' first solo EP, Lost in Love, is 12 minutes of pure pain and wonder, direct from his soul to your ears. Panopoulos creates little anthems out of analog synths and raw wails, produced by Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave, P.J. Harvey), and today Echoes and Dust is premiering the EP's opening track, "If You Ever Come Down."

Echoes and Dust reports: “Nowhere is his anguished honesty more evident than in opener ‘If You Ever Come Down’, a short, sharp 'crie de coeur' with a raw, visceral quality that suggests a miraculous one-take capture."
Under the Dead Waves banner, Panopoulos and his brother Nick have released three full-lengths and three EPs, all within half a decade. Burning Ambulance described Dead Waves' most recent album, 2018's God of the Wild, as "bridging the gap between experimental rock and some sort of unknown, barbarous folk music," likening it to Sonic Youth, Neil Young, and Wolves in the Throne Room, while CVLT Nation called it "fragile, and full of cosmic pain." Noisey proclaimed: “Dead Waves will make you stare at the sun and see the end of existence.”
Where God of the Wild left off, Teddy Panopoulos now carries on. Even more minimal, even more raw than what came before, Lost in Love removes layers and exposes this tortured soul that much more clearly. Truly haunting, truly unsettling, truly beautiful, Lost in Love might be the purest account of the human condition we will hear this year.
