Pale Waves announce new album ‘Unwanted’ with single and video ‘Lies’

Pale Waves have announced details of their third studio album, ‘Unwanted’, and shared its first single – watch the video for ‘Lies’ below.

The Dirty Hit-signed band released second album ‘Who Am I?’ in February 2021, and revealed at the start of the year that their third LP was finished and to be released this year.

“‘Lies’ is about someone who built up my trust and destroyed it like a wrecking ball,” vocalist Heather Baron-Gracie said of the album’s first single. “It caused trust issues for myself, but fortunately for me that person is no longer in my life. Once you do me wrong, you’re gone!”

Of ‘Unwanted’, she added: “It was really the only thing this album could be called. It’s bold and unapologetic, and that’s what the Pale Waves community is about. We don’t need to fit a perfect mould, we don’t need to apologise for being ourselves, and we won’t change for anyone. That acceptance is what connects us.”
