Dream pop force Laveda awaken nostalgic moods in their sound, drawing heavily from 90’s shoegaze and experimental rock. What began as a singer-songwriter bedroom recording project in Albany, NY by Ali Genevich (vocals, guitar) and Jake Brooks (guitar, vocals, synths), has grown into a full-fledged listening experience, with layered, overwhelming and rugged guitar energies. Laveda’s debut single “Dream. Sleep.” premiered on Pitchfork Radio February 15, 2019, by Elia Einhorn.
“With masses of glittering guitars and loops, Laveda's music is a true contemporary dreamwave infusion, with crunchy, imperfectly perfect lo-fi. The band places the listener into an alternate reality that reaches heights only shooting stars, or time traveling dimensions can.” - Born Music
Laveda completed their first tour of Northeastern US and Canada in summer 2019, following the release of their second single "Better Now.” Joined by friends Joe Taurone on drums and Daniel Carr on bass, the band is gearing up for a 2-week tour in early March that culminates in Austin, TX for SXSW Fest.
