Birmingham-based duo Phwoar have released their new single, Waiting For The Sun, marking the first taste of their upcoming EP, Flowers Through The Concrete.
Phwoar (pronounced ‘F-war’), the Birmingham-based indie rock duo consisting of Paul and Helena, has been steadily gaining attention. Tracks like Insist and Edging have already garnered thousands of streams, showcasing their potential. With their latest release, Waiting For The Sun, they aim to continue building on this progress and connect with more listeners.
This composition embodies the belief that “light always comes at the end of the tunnel,” presenting hope as a powerful act of defiance. It highlights the significance of finding inner strength when facing challenges, offering a deeply relatable message. Released on January 20th, the track aligns with the themes of perseverance and renewal. This date is widely recognized as Blue Monday, a day often associated with emotional struggles, and also coincides with the U.S. presidential inauguration, making it a thoughtful and timely choice for the song’s launch.
From its very first chord, Waiting For The Sun establishes a cold, atmospheric tone that perfectly complements its initially poignant lyrics. The track’s impact is amplified by its captivating instrumentation, featuring carefully measured drum patterns and somber guitar strumming. Paul and Helena’s alternating vocals add depth, bringing a compelling emotional weight to the song’s overall delivery.
“Waiting For The Sun serves as an anthem of perseverance, transforming a powerful message into a heartfelt hymn of hope.”
Waiting For The Sun marks just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting year for Phwoar. The duo has two more singles lined up for release in the coming months—Reckless on February 21st and Surge on March 14th—along with their highly anticipated EP Flowers Through The Concrete, set to drop in April. With these upcoming projects, Waiting For The Sun feels almost prophetic, setting the stage for even more to come from this talented duo.
