Air Waves is an accomplished artist known for their unique blend of indie rock and dream pop. With a discography spanning over a decade, they have established themselves as a prominent figure in the music industry. Drawing inspiration from various genres, Air Waves creates captivating melodies and thought-provoking lyrics that resonate with listeners.

Similar to *Alex Bleeker & The Freaks*, *Woods*, and *Papercuts*, Air Waves has carved out their own distinct sound that sets them apart from their peers. Their music evokes a sense of nostalgia while still feeling fresh and innovative. Fans of *Eternal Summers* and *The Babies* will appreciate Air Waves' ability to craft catchy hooks and infectious rhythms.

In addition to their solo work, Air Waves has collaborated with notable artists such as *Sonny & The Sunsets* and *Cass McCombs*. Their collaborations showcase their versatility as musicians and further solidify their status within the industry. With influences ranging from *Lower Dens* to *Frankie Rose*, Air Waves continues to push boundaries and explore new sonic territories.

In 2010 Nicole Schneit aka Air Waves released Dungeon Dots, an album Aquarius Records called "...pretty much perfect pop music." For her new album Parting Glances, Schneit enlisted friends from Brooklyn's music community to contribute to the record, including members of Woods, Crystal Stilts, Ava Luna, and Hospitality. Additionally, Jana Hunter of Lower Dens contributes vocals to two songs. The album's title comes from the 1986 film Parting Glances in which Steve Buscemi portrays a gay man navigating the difficulties of being in a relationship in Reagan-era New York. More than just identifying with the story, Schneit is interested in the in the lasting effect of the parting glances we share with strangers in our everyday encounters. She explains "You see all sorts of physical and emotional traits on the train. From people puking, making out, screaming, crying, laughing, dancing, grooming, etc. We encounter each other in the thick of our complex lives by simply looking at each other all the time. These glances are mundane and fleeting but also powerfully intimate." The lingering impact of those brief moments seeps into the details and imagery she delivers with energizing hooks and a disarming lack of pretense on Parting Glances.
