Introducing “Time To Let Go,” the latest single from WAASH, the exciting new project helmed by Vancouver’s prolific songwriter Andrew Bishop. With its smooth-streaming, synth-crystalized sound, this track offers a soaring statement on the importance of setting boundaries for self-care. While embodying the essence of ’80s era pop, chill-mode bossa nova, and pastel-print sophisto-pop, “Time To Let Go” also hints at Bishop’s reflections on interpersonal struggles. This single serves as the perfect introduction to WAASH’s forthcoming full-length album, which promises an electronics-forward take on nostalgic genres. Collaborating with talented friends including James Younger from Yukon Blonde, Courtney Ewan from Twin River, Louise Burns, Cody Hiles from The Zolas, and multi-instrumentalist Mike Rosen, WAASH’s debut album is set to captivate listeners when it arrives in 2024.
