Following 2013’s ‘Making Love’ EP, Canadian oddball Travis Bretzer has announced plans to release his debut album ‘Waxing Romantic’.

Out 23rd February via Mexican Summer, the LP was produced by Jorge Elbrecht, with members of Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti and MGMT’s James Richardson set to feature, alongside Josh da Costa from Regal Degal.

The full-time jingle maker is streaming ‘Promises’, a new single that’s leading the 24-year-old first full-length. Streaming below, his drifting take on pop comes from the same school of sincerity as Sean Nicholas Savage, kept under wraps by a strong sense of performance.

2. Idle By
3. Promises
4. Lonely Heart
5. Story Book
6. The Bread
7. Don’t Forget
8. Lady Red
