Theta Waves is a full-length album by Machine Learner released 2025/02/28.

Theta Waves offers solid grooves, snappy compositions, and a touch of the experimental, while at times being dreamy, psychedelic, and even downbeat.

Genre-wise, the album is a mix of dreampop, shoegaze, chillwave, psychedelic rock, and electronic.

Theta Waves is built around a strong emotional and approachable core, with a sound pallete of electric guitars, vocal harmonies, electric bass, synthesizers, and lots and lots of drums and percussion.

Causeway Song is a longing psychedelic dreampop song that builds towards a delirious climax. The track combines emotional vocals, playful guitar, and a solid groove including a variety of percussion.

"If I Survive" is a shoegaze-meets-electronic rock love song that transcends time. Vocal harmonies, a pounding rhythm section, and rumbling and soaring guitars give way to arpeggiated synth bliss.

Waiting on Angels is a yearning alternative-rock / post-punk epic that somehow manages to be both maximalist and minimalist. The sprawling composition was influenced by post-punk, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Talking Heads, and that time I got really into Philip Glass.

Precious Metals is an indie rock song about searching for gold and finding something better. Upbeat and energetic with strong guitar riffs and a catchy bassline, it morphs into a reflective finger-picking outro.
