Fraser Ross

Fraser Ross is the driving force behind Scottish dark pop/synth project The Ninth Wave, crafting brooding anthems that blend ‘80s-inspired electronics with visceral lyricism. Alongside bandmate Haydn Park-Patterson, the Glasgow-based artist has been shaping their moody, cinematic sound since 2016, earning acclaim for dramatic live performances and releases like their 2022 debut album *Happy Days!*. Tracks like *Thunderhead* and *Cards* showcase Ross' knack for marrying pulsating synths with raw emotional delivery, while recent singles like *Jin, Jiyan, Azadi* reveal a growing political consciousness in their writing.

Known for their haunting vocals and flair for theatricality, Ross’ work with The Ninth Wave occupies a unique space between dancefloor urgency and introspective gloom. The duo’s ever-evolving sound – evident in the shifting textures between releases like *Life Is Magic, Where Is My Rabbit?* and *In the Rain* – continues to solidify their status as one of Scotland’s most compelling electronic acts, equally at home in dimly lit clubs and festival stages.
