    Wave 1 has a much different feel to it compared to Com Truise's older albums and EPs in a good way. I just hate the fact that it's so short. There are a few recycled parts here and there from his older songs but that doesn't matter. It's enjoyable, and it has a great feel to it. I just hope the next EP/album will be longer.

    By burrowing down into a few key sounds rather than stiffly approximating a dozen-plus, the intermittently funky, unshakably finicky Wave 1 is a mostly welcome return.

    If you liked the Com Truise of old, you will almost certainly enjoy this, and if you've ever been skeptical about the quality of music that chillwave would be able to produce, Wave 1 should dispel all doubts. Highly recommended.

    Listening to Wave 1, there appears to have been no grand overhaul during the time Haley has spent on semi-lockdown, but neither has there been total creative stasis.
