“Informed by the expansive, lush, and atmospheric sound drawn from early 4AD, Slowdive, The Cure, and Cranes, the band teeters, with deft personality, between at times ethereal and reflective, at other times subtly dark and restless atmospheres.” – White Light, White Heat

Blending early and current shoegaze with a hint of 80s post-punk and new romantic, The Shallows, from Somerville MA delivery ethereal layered songs punctuated by sometimes haunting, sometimes soaring vocals and memorable hooks. Evolving in fits and starts since 2019, the band has found firm footing – recently releasing their first full length, Wave States and signing to Mint 400 records.

The Shallows are vocalist Jess Baggia (This Bliss), guitarist Brad Emerson (ex-Strangeways, The Milling Gowns), drummer Jason Keisch (ex-SCUBA, ex-Strangeways), and bassist Ben Didsbury (r|verghxst).

Starting in March 2024, The Shallows will be releasing new singles, in the meantime, enjoy the new video for the single Channels from our debut full length, Wave States.
