Founding Blur member Graham Coxon and former Pipettes vocalist Rose Elinor Dougall have announced their new group called The WAEVE. They two musicians came together during Christmas of 2020 and their collaborative efforts "gave rise to an unexpected sonic universe." A mash of guitars, saxophones, and strings—alongside their "shared love of English folk music, storytelling, and the associated landscapes of this beleaguered island"—is what resulted in The WAEVE.

“We are greatly looking forward to unleashing our new sound live at the Lexington next month,” the duo said in a press release. “We’ve been locked away this year, busy translating the varied sounds of our songs into a dynamic live show, with the help of some great musician friends. We invite you to surrender to the world of The WAEVE.”
