KAWALA found the courage to begin again. Together, the North London five-piece have scaled exhilarating heights since vocalist Jim Higson and guitarist Daniel McCarthy’s packed-out, homespun acoustic performances as students. Though the harmonic tenderness of folk is foundational to KAWALA’s sound, it is their instinct for pop music – the kind that is nourished by hooks, highs and a sun-blush glow of optimism for brighter horizons – which came to define this particular magic which expanded far beyond those small rooms. Armed with drummer Ben Batten, guitarist Dan Lee, and bassist Reeve Coulson, KAWALA’s sound befits the scale of their ambition, and their debut album Better With You (2022) reached #29 in the Official Albums Chart.
With a tour supporting Bombay Bicycle Club already chalked off at the beginning of the year, alongside joining Giant Rooks across Europe, the demand for their sound has only intensified.
