Wave Racer, AKA Tom Purcell, has delivered a lexicon for future bass.
The Sydney producer and multi-instrumentalist gets glitchy and divergent on this meta-pop self-exploration. Over 11 tracks, his debut album is an exercise in limited resource creativity.

The debut album from Wave Racer, To Stop From Falling Off The Earth, is out now.
