Rock Duo Waver Release New Album ‘Space and Time’

Published

on

Rock duo Waver return with a resonant statement of intent on their new full-length album, Space and Time. A 13-track offering steeped in nostalgia yet driven by forward momentum, the record melds the grit of 1990s rock with the refined perspective of decades-long musical partnership. Now streaming across all major platforms, it marks both a revival and a reinvention.

The story of Waver begins in the late ’90s at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York, where Mike Sartor and Dorsey Stone first crossed paths as roommates. What followed was an organic creative alliance built on contrast and chemistry—Sartor’s classic rock songwriting grounding Stone’s intricate, progressive guitar flourishes. From the outset, their sound was equal parts muscular and melodic, intimate yet expansive.

After earning a reputation as a fixture of the Boston live music circuit in the early 2000s, the duo stepped away to pursue divergent paths. Their reunion in late 2024, however, was guided by clarity and purpose: to craft a record that honoured their roots while embracing their growth as musicians and storytellers. The result is a body of work that feels both reflective and revitalised.

Recorded at Ugly Duck Studios in Boston, Space and Time is a masterclass in collaboration. Sartor handles lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, organ, and bass, while Stone contributes lead vocals and searing guitar work. Drummer Brendan McGillin anchors the record’s rhythmic core, doubling as a sound engineer alongside Dan Babai. Highlights include Stone’s “Always Awake” and “Delivery Is Free,” alongside the jointly penned “I Miss You.”

Across its 56-minute runtime, Space and Time captures the delicate tension between memory and momentum. From the shimmering tones of “Silvertone” to the aching vulnerability of “I Miss You,” Waver deliver an album that resonates with authenticity. It’s a bold reintroduction—one that bridges past and present with striking emotional clarity.

“With ‘Space and Time,’ Waver delivers a powerful return that feels both timeless and deeply personal, capturing the spirit of ‘90s rock while showcasing the growth and chemistry that only decades of collaboration can produce,” shares music publicist Danielle Holian, Decent Music PR.

Vinyl Floor’s Balancing Act Proves That Honest Rock Still Matters

“Balancing Act” by Vinyl Floor is a real treat. It is the sixth record from brothers Daniel and Thomas Charlie Pedersen sounds like it was made for right now and how they blend the ’60s and ’70s with modern elements never feels forced.

The production is clear and thoughtful. Every string, every horn, every vintage keyboard has space to exist. “Puppet Laureate” opens strong with real energy, while “The Swan of Eileen Lake” catches you off guard with folk warmth. “Adelaide” might be the best track, built on a lovely piano line with vocals that cut through cleanly. No hiding behind effects here.

The title track closes things out with the reflection the album’s been working toward. The core idea of finding hope in a fractured world could tip into despair easily, but Vinyl Floor stays honest about it. They’re not offering false comfort, but they’re not drowning either.

Progressive rock this restrained is rare. The arrangements serve the songs instead of overshadowing them. If anything, some moments could use more breathing room, but that’s small in a record made by people who clearly care about what they’re saying.

This is for anyone who wants rock that actually wrestles with real ideas. It counts for something.
