Echo. Tide. Awake. is the first full-length studio album from Midwave Breaks, featuring 13 new tracks for 2026 – all written, recorded, mixed, and mastered by the band themselves, in the spare room of a farmhouse, overlooking the Bay of Plenty coastline in New Zealand. Midwave Breaks reimagine the sounds of their youth through a modern lens, epitomized by 80’s-90’s alternative rock/pop - evoking hints of Springsteen and Petty, Cornell and Vedder, and a melting pot of musical influences from past to present. Echo. Tide. Awake. explores cyclical themes of time and perspective, reframing the past to better illuminate the present.
