Like a late-night drive through the past, Indigo Waves’ sophomore album, ‘Mirror’ navigates the tension between nostalgia and growth. It’s all about reflecting on who you used to be and wondering whether you’ve really evolved. The album includes fast-paced songs and intimate, introspective moments, all without breaking the mellow tone the band is known for.

Salt Lake City-based Indigo Waves crafts a sound that merges the ethereal textures of retro synth-pop with the driving energy of post-punk and the melodic charm of indie rock. Their signature sound features Austin Oestreich’s deadpan vocals awash in reverb, shimmering guitars and drums played like a lo-fi drum machine. With over 1.4 million streams from ‘Mirror’ and more than 9.3 million total across their catalog, Indigo Waves has clearly tapped into something special. As they head out on a European tour in the spring of 2025, it’s clear that Mirror is just the next step for this emerging band.
