Post-Giantess: Listen to Lightwaves’ urgent new electro-pop single, ‘Warrior’

We still reminisce about Boston’s electro-pop explosion of the late-2000s, when bands like Bearstronaut and Yes Giantess followed in the footsteps of Passion Pit and finally — oh fucking finally — got this stiff-ass rock and roll town to dance. While the former is still taking on Boston parties of all denominations, the latter relocated to New York and kinda fell off our radar.

Around 2011, Yes Giantess ringleader and mastermind Jan Rosenfeld emerged with a DJ/production project called Lightwaves, and since then, it’s evolved into a DC-based quartet that modernizes his former band’s penchant for ’80s-soundtrack synth-pop.

The follow up to December’s pulsating electro sneer of “Starting To Believe” and the pop goodness of recent single “Returned” is an urgent synth track called “Warrior,” and it has helped us get out of bed early this Monday morning and start our week with a little dance-party action in the shower.
