Queen of the Wave is the fourth album by Pepe Deluxé, released on CD by Catskills in the UK on January 30, 2012, and digitally by Asthmatic Kitty in the US on January 31. Styled as "an esoteric pop opera in three parts", the album's cover art and liner notes were designed by James Spectrum.
Profits from album sales were donated to the John Nurminen Foundation, specifically for the charity's Clean Baltic Sea project. Music for "In the Cave" was recorded on the Great Stalacpipe Organ, the largest musical instrument in the world.
Queen of the Wave lyrics contain numerous references to the 1905 occult book A Dweller on Two Planets.
