Freak Heat Waves is a Canadian experimental rock band known for its enigmatic presence and eclectic music that defies easy categorization. The band was originally formed in Victoria, British Columbia, and has since shifted its base between various Canadian cities and currently operates out of Montreal. The group's sonic palette is a fusion of post-punk, electronic, and art rock elements, frequently marked by a hypnotic blend of rhythm and texture.

Their discography showcases a progressive evolution in sound and style, capturing attention with releases that include "Beyond XXXL" and "Zap the Planet," among others. With "Mondo Tempo" and "In a Moment Divine," Freak Heat Waves continued to intrigue listeners with their innovative approach to composition and an often abstract, atmospheric aesthetic. The titles such as "Dripping Visions," "Busted," and "Let It Go" further demonstrate the band's ability to blend surreal lyrical content with sprawling soundscapes. This willingness to explore and challenge musical norms has solidified Freak Heat Waves as a distinctive voice within the indie music scene, constantly redefining their identity and pushing the boundaries of genre.
