"Lyrically, The Wave Pictures turn on a dime. They can zip from the richly observed into amusingly confessional into a Lewis Carol flight of fancy." 8/10 NME
"The Wave Pictures are currently conjuring the most gleeful, magnificent pop in town." - GUARDIAN
"At their helm The Wave Pictures have a writer who captures expertly the bitter romance of British life." - ***** TIME OUT
"Original Intelligent, and utterly heartwarming." - **** THE FLY
Recorded in Berlin by Clemence Freschord, with the horns of Stanley Brinks, If You Leave It Alone embraces a "very proper, very old fashioned way of recording", cutting back on the electric arrangements of their debut, favouring horns and finger picking and placing a renewed focus on story telling.
Bravely mining the lost essence of British Indie, The Wave Pictures were critically lauded last year for their debut album Instant Coffee Baby. Short listed for The Guardian 'New Album Award' and included in Plan B's 'Albums of 2008', their seductively shabby love songs evoking the grubby romance of youth won them fans amongst public and critics alike.
