Vinyl LP pressing. "Dark pop," Shana Falana calls it, when pressed for a genre. On Here Comes the Wave, the veteran of the Brooklyn and San Francisco undergrounds deals in paradoxes and oppositions: drones stormy and serene, layers of warmth streaked with wildness and troubled riffs, ethereal forces at war and at play. The duality runs deep in the record's unlikely birth story as well. In the winter of 2006, Falana lost half of her index finger in a workplace elevator accident in New York City. On the passenger seat of her car that morning - when the shoegaze/psychedelic songwriter was pulled over (and let go) with expired California plates and no insurance - sat cassette tapes of Django Reinhardt and Jerry Garcia, two guitarists famous for adapting to missing or damaged fingers in the pursuit of their art.
