The Waves, the Wake is the seventh studio album by Canadian indie folk band Great Lake Swimmers, released August 17, 2018 on Nettwerk.[4] The album was marked by a shift in the band's traditional folk rock instrumentation, with bandleader Tony Dekker choosing to avoid acoustic guitar and instead incorporating instruments including marimba, flute, pipe organ, harp, congas, vibraphone and lute to expand the band's sound.[5]
The album was preceded by Side Effects, an EP which previewed three tracks from the album alongside three songs from their prior catalogue.[4]
In November 2019, the band released an acoustic reinterpretation of the album.[6]
