California’s Day Wave, aka Jackson Phillips, is dreaming up indie tracks to soundtrack your high school summers.<\/p>\n

\"Day<\/a><\/p>\n

Previously playing as half of electro-pop pair Carousel, Jackson Phillips has taken on a new persona as Day Wave. Sending his melancholic tunes out of Oakland, Jackson teams up surf-pop percussion, cyclical riffs, shimmering synths and echoing vocals with the lyric, “what am I good for?” It blends amongst the heady mix of instrumentation to the point where you’re left wondering how to feel.<\/p>\n

So prepare yourself for plenty of emotional confusion as\u00a0Headcase<\/em>, Jackson’s debut EP, is released today. Perfect timing, school’s out, sun’s up and Day Wave will no doubt be soundtracking the mood swings of teens and their raging hormones until the winter. For those of you who think you’ve grown out of that phase, prepare to fall straight back into it, having internal arguments on “Drag” and searching for yourself to the sound of “Nothing At All”. We pinned down Jackson to hear about the new EP and planned a day trip hang gliding together.<\/p>\n
