Pale Waves tell all about their debut album 'My Mind Makes Noises' in the new issue of Dork, out now

We told you we had something good up our sleeves. Here's what you can find in our latest issue.

We've been keeping a secret, Dear Reader, but finally we're allowed to spill. This month's Dork features an exclusive cover feature with the mighty Pale Waves, as the buzziest band on the planet announce the release of their debut album, 'My Mind Makes Noises'.

Since they first exploded with debut single 'There's A Honey' back in February 2017, it's been obvious Pale Waves are a little bit special. Dropping banger after banger, they've already developed a trademark sound and an iconic image on their stratospheric rise. Now, they're ready for the payoff.

On the threshold of their defining moment, we asked Pale Waves' biggest fan, frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie, to spill all about the band's first full-length. Accompanied by some stunning portraits shot just a couple of weeks ago in the midst of a summer full of live shows and festivals, she delves deep into one of the most remarkable debuts of recent years. Seriously - the full Dork review will come later, but whatever you're expecting, 'My Mind Makes Noises' tops it.

Obviously, that's not all we're bringing you this month. Dedicated readers will remember we spent most of June asking you for your Bangers of the Year (so far). There was a reason. This month we run down our (and your) favourite tracks from the first half of 2018, including chats with Let's Eat Grandma, Superorganism, Confidence Man and more.

Elsewhere, we talk new material with Maggie Rogers, being "the same old boring wanker" with Ten Tonnes (his words, not ours - Ed), and go mushrooming with Kate Nash. Yes. Mushrooming. We're all fun guys here.

That's all without mentioning the shocking evolution of Deaf Havana, a day with Matt Maltese, our off-topic Any Other Questions with Harry from Peace, and the staggering pop tsunami of HRH Queen of All Pop Charli XCX. They're all in there, and more.

Now the word is finally out, the new issue of Dork is flying out across the country as we speak - pre-orders and subscriber copies have already been sent out and should be with you imminently. Published in exceedingly pull-pages-out-for-posters-friendly 210mm x 280mm print, you can make sure you get a copy and order direct from us above, or subscribe here and get every issue straight to your door. Alternatively, you can read it in full online via issuu here, or pick up one of our free copies from independent record stores and venues nationwide.
