BLEAK
The Wave
After sixteen years of quiet, BLEAK have returned with the release of 'The Wave'. The song was first written by Caleb Daniel Lit in 1994, left waiting until now. There is a real weight to the track that is hard to find these days, it isn't nostalgia more a maturing of the sound over time.
Opening with a dualling guitars that pull against each other creating a captivating sound. Caleb's voice is solid as a rock, measured and perfectly in time with the instrumentals. Caleb has been developing over the years and that time has helped to shape BLEAK's sound. It was time well spent for sure. Unfussed by production techniques, Caleb keeps the music at the forefront of what he does.

BLEAK began in Rovaniemi in the late nineties. The early spark was there, then the usual drift set in, people leaving, new faces arriving, the noise turning to friction. By 2009 it was done. Caleb moved on, made other projects, kept writing. Somewhere in the background, those old recordings waited.
When they were played again years later, 'The Wave' stood out. It still had a pulse. Now, finally released, it doesn’t sound like a throwback. It sounds current in its own way, unforced, alive.
Sixteen years gone, and the band sounds like itself again. 'The Wave' closes the gap between then and now without trying to. Just a song that never really left, waiting for its moment to breathe.
