INDIGO WAVES
Indigo Waves Announces New Album "Mirror" and Upcoming 2025 Tour Dates
Salt Lake City, Utah — Indie rock band Indigo Waves has announced the release of their highly anticipated sophomore album, Mirror, set to drop in early 2025. Known for their dreamy lo-fi atmospheres and pulsing, vibrant rhythms, Indigo Waves has attracted a global following with a unique blend of dream pop and '80s-inspired new wave, currently drawing over 230,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.
Mirror marks an exciting evolution from the chill, bedroom pop vibes of their debut album to a high-energy, nostalgia-filled journey inspired by the spirited sounds of '80s new wave. The album is a dynamic fusion of synth-rich soundscapes and jangly guitar, recorded in the band’s Salt Lake City basement studio. Featuring 13 brand-new tracks, Mirror invites fans to experience an invigorating new side of Indigo Waves, one that will be showcased live during their upcoming European tour.
“Matt and I both became fathers during the creation of this album,” shares lead vocalist Austin Oestreich. “Reflecting on our own youth, we wanted to create music that celebrates life’s energy and joy, something our kids can look to and feel that the world is an amazing place if you know where to look. Mirror is all about that kind of reflection—choosing what you want to see in yourself and the world around you. We wanted to move away from the melancholy vibe and instead, create something that radiates optimism, something people can dance to and truly enjoy.”
Indigo Waves will kick off their European tour in April 2025, with stops in major cities including Paris, Berlin, and Copenhagen. Tickets will be available starting November 15, 2024, through the band’s official website and authorized ticket outlets.

Indigo Waves Biography
At times poppy and polished, and other times, melancholic, Indigo Waves runs the gamut of saccharine, ’80s lo-fi nostalgia and dream pop. With catchy singles such as “Jerry Whiner” and “Can’t Let Go,” Indigo Waves reminds me of Wild Nothing but with a sound that lends itself to more rock rhythms. In between each upbeat single, richly sublime tracks serve as emotional palette cleansers, as in “Let Go,” a personal favorite of mine from the album that imparts a hopeful gloominess, and “Draynor Manor,” a synthy, instrumental track that encompasses the cassette-tape atmosphere of the entire album.
Vocalist/guitarist Austin Oestreich has a way of emotively charging his simplistic vocal melodies that makes the slightly distorted vocals pop against the instrumental background. For me, “Thanks” highlights the interplay between the somber lyrics, Oestreich’s charming vocals and the upbeat guitar and synth melodies well. The highly danceable track features a chorus of “Oh yeah you’re falling asleep / Oh yeah you’re caught in a dream.” Similarly, the second track, “Symbols,” boosts the album’s tone with an ethereal soundscape that breaks into an upbeat rhythm and equally optimistic vocals. The dichotomy between the nostalgic dreaminess and the catchy pop elements sets each track of Indigo Waves apart from the rest. Don’t be surprised if you catch an ear worm or two—these songs will get stuck in your head.
