![]() We tried to make ‘Infancy’ sound as big and grand as we could, but this new album is a lot more sparse in places and it feels like there’s much more separation between each instrument to let each part breathe properly.” “This album was produced by ourselves and we’ve taken everything we learned from recording our first EPs, the first album and the Happy Days! EP and made something that we’re really proud of. We learned a lot from Dan Austin, who produced it and our first two EPs.” Taking what they learned from those projects, and channelling them into their second album, Haydn says “‘Infancy’ was the album where we found out who we were sonically as a band, where we tried new things for the first time and dipped our toes in the world of synths and electronics. ![]() ![]() While ‘Infancy’ glided through an amalgam of genres from 80s post-punk to tumultuous indie, full of large, swelling choruses and majestic, monolithic arrangements, ‘Happy Days!’ scythed its way through real darkness, delving into a canvas of industrial beats, dream-pop soundscapes and dark, electronic textures. ![]() A wholly collaborative effort from start to finish, it presents them as a collective force – matching Haydn and Millie’s lyrical and melodic nous with Kyalo and Calum’s intricately crafted, multi-textured arrangements.Ī natural follow-up to their 2019 debut ‘Infancy’ and their ‘Happy Days!’ EP, released in lockdown, their second full-length album takes all the best parts of their previous projects and refines them even further. Musically, the album pushes The Ninth Wave further than they’ve ever gone before, pulling from influences as wide-ranging as Yves Tumor, Savages, Eartheater, Kelly Lee Owens and Young Fathers, while retaining their own distinct songwriting craft and approach – its diversity perhaps stems from the fact that all four members contributed to every facet of its creation. When you listen, ‘Heavy Like a Headache’ isn’t the sound of a band downing tools in fact, it’s the opposite. We’ve been sitting on it for a long time!” The first session was in August 2020 and we finished it at the start of last year. “We recorded ‘Heavy Like A Headache’ in three blocks down in Somerset, where we’ve recorded almost everything since our first release. With their final swansong set to take place at Glasgow’s SWG3 on Saturday, we catch up with the band’s frontman Haydn about the new album, their hiatus, memories and future plans. It’s a bittersweet moment for fans who have followed their every move for the last few years – from sweaty underground shows in The Priory and Broadcast to tours all over the UK, Europe and further afield. Of course, it arrives with the weight of the news that they will be taking an elongated break after its release. The legs will also have the same problem as the one I told you before, so you’ll have to fix them too.THIS Friday, The Ninth Wave release their second album ‘Heavy Like a Headache’ – easily their most ambitious and outstanding piece of work to date.įor a band who have presented themselves in many forms throughout their existence, their second album shows them at their most experimental and personable energised and confident in their art. To use other textures such as this, that isn’t from a specialty, you just need to resize the arms like you do normally. If you do this with the toes too, making them a millimeter higher you should be fine. This can be solved by cropping out the legs like you did with the arms and altering the height by three millimeters. The belt texture though is the right height and width. So, the other day I was testing the decals for the legs and I noticed an inaccuracy: the leg texture, even being the right width it isn’t the right height, but it is in fact three millimeters too short and the toe is a milimeter too short. SIZE INACCURACIES AND SIZING OTHER TEXTURES Group them together.and you are done! the texture is the perfect size for a real minifigure! after that, crop the smaller torsos to get only the arms, one with the left arm, one with the right and place the images like so: Now that the images are the right size, click on wrap text and select the behind text for the legs and the bigger torso texture and put the two spaller ones on top of text. One of the torso texture needs to be 5x5cm and the other two are 4x4cm.
