Bleached Wavves

Bleached Wavves is the debut studio album by Ojibwe shoegaze musician Daniel Monkman, known by the stage name Zoon.

[1] Under Bloom, Monkman released the EP Bleached Wavves via cassette-only, containing early versions of some songs that were on the album.

[1] The closer track "Help Me Understand" combines guitars and traditional drums to create a sound that "seems to transcend shoegaze", according to Josiah Nelson of Exclaim!

[1] Juan Edgardo Rodríguez of No Ripcord gave the album 8 out of 10 points, and described it as a "sonic meditation" filled with symbolism.

[4] Bleached Wavves was shortlisted for the 2021 Polaris Music Prize, which awards the best Canadian album of the year, regardless of genre.
