Tarntanya/Adelaide indie act Broken Waves have got me grooving with their latest single “The Chase.” This track defies classification, instead drawing influences from the funk, dance, and indie rock genres. As someone who doesn’t think music needs to fit neatly into boxes, I’m just enjoying the vibe.
“It was heavily influenced by our growing obsession with jazz house, electronic textures, and the kind of EDM that prioritises groove over spectacle,” the band said. “We didn’t want to just experiment for the sake of it — the goal was to refine and tighten our approach to songwriting, to make something leaner and more intentional without losing the emotional weight.”
This song is a bit of a sonic left turn for Broken Waves, but I’m here for it. Crank it up and enjoy!
