Indie cult favourites The Wave Pictures have unveiled their latest single, “Sure and Steady,” a charming precursor to their highly anticipated album, “Gained / Lost“. Set for release on 27th February via Bella Union Records, the album promises to be a distillation of the DIY spirit that has guided the trio for nearly three decades.
Following the Burroughs-inspired dreamscape of the lead single “Alice,” “Sure and Steady” shifts the focus from dreams to memories.
The Wave Pictures say: “Sure and Steady” is like Lou Reed if he’d grown up in the East Midlands. This song is a memory song, rather than a dream song. Like Proust with his Madeleines, this is a song about flapjacks. This is also a song about other people’s mothers and how they are so different from one’s own mother. This song is like a photograph.”
“Sure and Steady” is the second single from The Wave Pictures new album “Gained / Lost”, due out 27th February 2026
The elemental joy of making music and the pleasure of pure sound lie at the heart of the new album, joy and pleasure distilled into it’s essential essence by David ‘Sheddiebrek’ Tattersall (guitar and lead vocals), Franic ‘Hot Fudge’ Rozycki (bass) and Jonny ‘Huddersfield’ Helm (drums).
