Waterfall (Rebirth) is the latest full-length from NYC band Couch Prints, an eclectic rock record beaming with creativity and life. Big, almost industrial slice of guitar intersperse with Couch Prints’ dream-pop demeanor in a way that shakes expectations with catchy results. An extension of the Waterfall EP released in 2022, Couch Prints nicely broaden their sound with new wave, indie pop, and electronic rock influences taking a sweet, airy sound and making it impactful. Moving between light synth-pop numbers and heavier content gives Waterfall (Rebirth) multifaceted appeal, keeping things interesting even when hanging in a cool, mid tempo space. (Kevin McStravick)
