In many ways mirroring the spontaneity of their initial singles, “I For An Eye” and “Wisdom Teeth”, Brisbane’s Waax have decided to today push out a surprise release — a brand new EP entitled “Holy Sick”.
On Holy Sick, those two previously released singles bookend a pair of new tracks. “Holy Sick” follows the lead of its predecessors, constructed around Maria DeVita’s remarkably elastic vocals, the formidable front-woman keeping the composition on a leash as she sets the course with her parabolic yelps and snarling growls.
More surprising, however, is the second new song, “CC Thugs”, a haunting ballad that teasingly takes DeVita’s vocals to the edge of despair. A notable display of susceptibility, but more significantly — evolution. Destroying any pre-conceived ideas that WAAX are simply a full-throttle vehicle.
