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.

Following the shoegaze slant of WAASH’s similarly self-titled 2023 EP, “Frozen” is more of an electronics-forward take on ‘80s era pop, which points to the broader electronic experimentation Bishop brought to his next LP. While it’s an aesthetically smooth stream, the single also stirs up Bishop’s thoughts on some interpersonal strife.

“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.
