In the words of Under The Radar Magazine, "Nick and Teddy Panopoulos find fragile intensity in haunting psych and folk arrangements, creating raw, strange, and soulful meditations. 'Innermost' ripples with a quiet sense of foreboding and aggression... Dead Waves captures an indelible element of primal fear, perfectly balancing hypnotic fractured beauty and raw simmering menace."

Abandoned Children is an utterly authentic piece of art that leads and does not follow. As subdued as they are, Dead Waves' fragile guitars and distant vocals are loaded with memories of violence; the songs hit like fragments of past horrors, glimpsed through the fog of decades, or like slippery revelations received and lost within dreams. Through seven tracks, Teddy Panopoulos and his brother Nick conjure quiet intensity that cuts to the bone – a dark mix of psych, folk, and noise-rock.
Teddy states: “It's about feeling empathy for all the abandoned children who feel hopeless in our present day reality."
Early Dead Waves releases, including the Steve Albini-produced Oracles of the Grave/Promise 7", rocked in a heavy-garage fashion, sparking comparisons to Nirvana and Pixies. Over the course of its seven releases, the band has gradually severed ties with rock conventions and blossomed into an unfettered, experimental musical entity. Gone now are the drums and roars, but in this rawer state the music is more powerful than ever.
With Abandoned Children, Teddy and Nick continue marching to their own beat, making music that is soulful and strange and brimming with the confidence of true artists. As Dead Waves' volume continues to drop, its impact continues to soar.
