Pissed Jeans have shared a cover of Lou Reed’s ‘Waves Of Fear’, available worldwide on all DSPs from Sub Pop. The song was recorded during the sessions for their acclaimed Half Divorced, a 2025 Libera Award nominee for “Best Punk Album.” It was also available as a limited edition flexi disc, which was released in conjunction with their cover feature for the US punk zine New Noise Magazine last spring.
Matt Korvette says of the song, “The seasick bass riff that centres ‘Waves Of Fear’ is one of my all-time favourites, so we had to take a stab at this paranoid, self-loathing classic. I yell ‘take it Crystal!’ at the end because Crystal Waters frequently records in the same studio we had recorded in, and we were hopeful she might ad-lib some soulful vocals at the end, the next time she stopped by. Sadly it did not pan out.”
