A group of childhood friends from Inglewood who began playing together in their teens, the band consists of Pablo Sotelo (vocals/guitar), Jean Pierre Narvaez (bass/vocals), Chris Runners (keys/vocals), Elijah Trujillo (guitar/keys), and Luis Portillo (drums). An early diet of bands like the Arctic Monkeys, the Strokes, and Gorillaz fueled their imagination as they learned their instruments and began writing songs together during high school in the late 2000s. By the time they began releasing music in 2012, Inner Wave had transformed themselves into a pysch-driven indie pop band with a lo-fi bent and a strong D.I.Y. presence. A series of self-released singles and EPs paved the way for their first full-length, 2013's III. The album's bubbly lo-fi single, "American Spirits," went on to notch millions of streams on major streaming platforms. The exploratory Sun Transmissions followed a year later as Inner Wave continued to build buzz as a live band. A steady stream of signals throughout early 2017 preceded the August release of their ambitious third album, Underwater Pipe Dreams. An hour long and boasting 18 tracks, the experimental set was followed in 2018 by similarly toned companion EP, Underwater +, further bolstering their reputation as a creative and engaging act. Inner Wave returned in the middle of 2019 with the warped but sunny EP wya.

If you push it, you can get it in time
I'm the only thing left to hide
Try it's right there for your eyes
If you push it, you can get it in time
I'm the only thing left to hide
I'll reach out to you, you'll reach out to me
I'll reach out to you, you'll reach out to me
Try it's right there for your eyes
If you push it you can get it in time
I'm the only thing left to...
I'll reach out to you, you'll reach out to me
I'll be right here waiting
I'll reach out to you, you'll reach out to me
I'll be right here waiting
When I talk to you, patience is the key
I'll be right here waiting
I return to you, nothing left for me
Waiting
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
The lyrics to Inner Wave's song Eclipse seem to be about a relationship that has ended and the aftermath of it. The singer is telling their former partner to try to move on, to take the opportunities that are presented to them and not let fear hold them back. They are acknowledging that they were the only thing left to hide but they are no longer a part of their ex-partner's life. The repeated phrase "I'll reach out to you, you'll reach out to me" could be interpreted as a way of keeping some kind of connection between them, although it seems like it may not be enough to salvage the relationship.
The lines "When I talk to you, patience is the key" and "I return to you, nothing left for me" suggest that the singer is trying to show their former partner that they are willing to be patient and to wait for them, but also that they have moved on and that there is nothing left for them in that relationship. The last three lines of the song - "You do it to yourself" repeated three times - imply that the reasons for the relationship ending were due to the actions of both parties involved. It seems like the singer is telling their ex-partner that they can't just blame one person for the breakdown of their relationship.

I listen to alot of random indie bands while working and half of the time they all tend to mesh together but once I heard eclipse for the first time I was instantly hooked! The dreamy guitar, the beautiful vocals, that groovy bass and the synths gave me chills! Now I'm at home listening to your guy's discography and my god I have no words, I haven't been this mesmerized since discovering HOMESHAKE and I can say for certainty not even halfway through the discography you guys are my number 1 favourite band to this day! usually for me to enjoy a song fully I would have to get high as fuck but holy shit you guys have something fucking special like for reals. I can't praise you guys enough PLEASE I BEG YOU NEVER STOP MAKING MUSIC!!!
Sincerely a new fan
