WAASH Releases New Song “Frozen”
Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Andrew Bishop's project, WAASH released a new song “Frozen” on May 22, 2024.
The song is taken from his upcoming self-titled debut album, which is expected to be released in 2024 via Light Organ Records.
The track is more of an electronics-forward take on '80s era pop and features Twin River's lead singer and co-writer Courtney Ewan Hancock as vocals.
The track was written by Andrew Bishop, Cody Hiles, and Courtney Ewan Hancock. Produced by James Younger and Andrew Bishop.
The accompanying music video was directed by Derek Janzen.
Andrew Bishop said of the song, “This is definitely one of my favourite songs on the album. I'm so excited to share this track with you. When writing 'Frozen' I had visions of it playing along bike rides, afternoon park hangs, wooded campfires or a dreamy sunset down at the beach. Whatever summer may look like to you, I hope 'Frozen' makes it on to your fair weather soundtrack.”- He continued, “'Frozen' was the last track written for the record. Not only was it the last song written, it took many shapes and forms along the way. Initially, I had left the demo pretty stripped down, planning on building it up in the studio. Sometimes you just want to save some of that magic for the moment. James Younger immediately had ideas that would transform the song into what it is today. James had initially tracked electric bass, but we thought it would be fun to try a sequenced synthesiser. As soon as that synth bass was on the track, we knew we were on the right path. I took the song home over the weekend and couldn't stop working on it. When I returned to the studio the following Monday, the track had taken shape and was ready for vocals. Courtney came down to the studio and we began writing lyrics. The last few pieces came together quickly, leaving us with one of my favourite tracks on the album.”
