WAASH — the latest, pop-refining project from Vancouver songwriter Andrew Bishop — is previewing the upcoming self-titled full-length with latest single “Frozen.” The soaring, synth-coursing statement on putting up boundaries as a form of self-care arrives on WAASH’s label home, Light Organ Records.
“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, Bishop 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. The lyrics were co-written with Courtney Ewan Hancock, Bishop’s longtime partner in pop-rock outfit, Twin River.
“Even if we kept it all buried in the past
You think we’d still remember this as something meant to last?”
Even if WAASH’s upcoming album reflects the wisdom of withdrawing, the project’s first full-length release likewise found Andrew Bishop’s nurturing friendships with a number of familiar collaborators. Lyrics were often co-written with Courtney Ewan Hancock, Bishop’s longtime partner in pop-rock outfit Twin River, and Louise Burns, the esteemed songwriter/producer Bishop had first met when he’d briefly entered her back-up band a decade ago.
