    Unbelievably, Shudall and Circa Waves have managed to expand and deepen what already felt like a complete emotional arc.

    When Circa Waves released the initial Death & Love Pt. 1 in January, it was an early contender for one of the best pop albums you’re likely to hear in 2025. Now that it has doubled in size, it is, happily, still one of the best pop albums you’re likely to listen to this year.

    Remaining steadfast in their signature sound, Circa Waves released another nine songs which combines with ‘Death & Love pt.1’ to make an 18 track album. Part two’s first single, ‘CherryBomb’ immediately places you into Circa Wave’s soundscape with its relaxed instrumentation, vibrant riffs and catchy choruses.

    Circa Waves do what they do very well. And ultimately both volumes of Death & Love do a decent job at documenting an undoubtably traumatic time in Circa Waves’ lives.
