Portland quartet Kallai unveil, The Wave, the first look at their first LP, We Are Forever, arriving this fall on Little Cloud Records. Inspired by historian Susan Stryker’s “My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamounix,” the track pairs towering guitars with ethereal vocals and a driving rhythm section to deliver a story of the transformative power of rage. Recorded in part with Collin Hegna of The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Federale, The Wave streams July 25th.

Lyrics:

Sore feet hit the ground
Until it runs red
Been running since rapture
Turned to dread

Chased to Earth’s end
Nowhere left to flee
Caught between fear
And the Sea

I dive in the water
Sink into the deep
Dissolve in the darkness
That flows through me

I am the water
I am the wave
I am the monster
I am the rage

I will destroy your whole world
From field to chateau
Every breath drowns
All you know

Hark this herald creature
Bearing tides unknown
That wash away the nature
You control

I dive in the water
Sink into the deep
Dissolve in the darkness
That flows through me

I am the water
I am the wave
I am the monster
I am the rage

The wave wrecks, through me (Rage)
The wave cleans, through me (Rage)
The wave builds, through me (Rage)
The wave renews me (Rage)
