Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall first met in 2004 during a gig at Islington's the Buffalo Bar, in which Coxon was an attendee and Dougall was performing with the Pipettes. However, a brief chat and Dougall convincing Coxon to buy her a quadruple brandy and coke was the extent of that encounter. [2] Within a week we were recording. Our work was exploratory. Two people asked questions of each other, and as a consequence the void became less yawning. Music was created, and these two voices in the songs became two people: Rose and I.”On 6 September 2022, The Waeve shared details of their upcoming self-titled debut album while also releasing the first single from it, "Can I Call You".

Broadcast purists might be annoyed by how much the WAEVE borrow from the much-lamented Birmingham experimentalists, down to Dougall’s delivery of the word “surrender” on “Undine,” which comes straight from the Trish Keenan school of detached seduction. But Dougall has the songwriting talent to pull it off: Her 2017 solo album Stellular joined lovelorn synth-pop with Broadcast-esque dreaminess to enchanting effect. Add the saxophone and Coxon’s naively charming vocals, which share the limelight with Dougall’s Keenan-ian tone, and the WAEVE become a far more intriguing beast: a band with its own distinct musical palette.
