Hazy Waters – Watch Out For Deep Waters (EP)
Release Date: June 13, 2025
Origin: London, UK
Genre: Indie rock, shoegaze, alternative
On their latest release, Watch Out For Deep Waters, London trio Hazy Waters fully deliver on the promise of their name—drenching listeners in a lush fog of dreamy shoegaze textures and surging alt-rock grit. It’s a short but powerful statement of intent, placing them at the intersection of immersive soundscapes and raw emotional drive.
Sound & Aesthetic
Hazy Waters expertly blend thick, reverb-laden guitars with the urgency of '90s alternative rock. Their sound is both hazy and immediate—an enveloping wall of sound pierced by sharp melodies and a rhythmic pulse that keeps everything grounded.
The production feels deliberately blurred at the edges, letting feedback and texture take on as much emotional weight as the vocals. Yet, within the mist, there’s clarity—every element serving a purpose in the trio’s tightly controlled chaos.
Mood & Themes
As the title suggests, Watch Out For Deep Waters explores emotional depths. Themes of uncertainty, introspection, and inner tension ripple just beneath the surface. There’s a quiet warning in these songs—a sense of being pulled under by something beautiful, overwhelming, and hard to define.
Rather than offering linear stories, the EP moves like a tide, swelling with mood and atmosphere. It captures that feeling of being half-awake, caught between reflection and motion, between softness and noise.
Conclusion
With Watch Out For Deep Waters, Hazy Waters prove themselves a formidable force in the current UK indie landscape. Their ability to balance dreamlike sonics with the rawness of alternative rock sets them apart, making this EP both emotionally resonant and sonically powerful. A band to watch—and listen to—closely.
