Our Take

LAUNDER's newest album, "Happening," is like a retro dream that collided with an indie pop explosion, resulting in a concoction of infectious melodies and dreamy hooks that will have you grooving non-stop.

Opening track "Annie Blue" kicks things off with a jangly guitar riff that could easily transport you back to the heyday of 90s indie rock. The catchy chorus will have you singing along in no time, proving that LAUNDER knows how to craft a pop gem.

Tracks like "Powder" and "Keep You Close" showcase the band's ability to create lush, atmospheric soundscapes that envelop the listener in a warm embrace. The shimmering guitars and ethereal vocals combine to create a sonic tapestry that is as comforting as it is captivating.

However, it's not all sunshine and rainbows on "Happening." The album's darker moments, such as the brooding "Vermillion" and the haunting "Half-Life," add depth and complexity to an otherwise breezy collection of songs.

Overall, LAUNDER's "Happening" is a delightful journey through the highs and lows of love and life, set to a backdrop of shimmering guitars and irresistible melodies. It's the perfect soundtrack for both lazy summer days and late-night drives, a testament to the band's ability to create music that is both nostalgic and modern. So grab your headphones and get lost in the dreamy world of LAUNDER. You won't regret it.

About the artist

Launder

LAUNDER is the musical project of Los Angeles-based artist John Cudlip, a rising star in the dream pop scene. With his mesmerising blend of gauzy guitars, ethereal vocals, and laid-back beats, LAUNDER creates a sonic atmosphere that feels like bathing in a sea of shimmering synths. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Slowdive and Cocteau Twins, LAUNDER's music is a nostalgic journey back to the hazy days of 90s shoegaze, but with a modern twist. His dreamy melodies and introspective lyrics transport listeners to a world of swirling reverbs and sun-drenched melodies. But don't be fooled by LAUNDER's dreamy exterior – there's a darker edge lurking beneath the surface. His lyrics delve into themes of loneliness, heartbreak, and existential dread, adding depth and complexity to his sun-soaked sound. LAUNDER's debut EP, "Pink Cloud", was released to critical acclaim, with Pitchfork praising his "sumptuous melodies" and "mesmerising vocals". With his hypnotic live shows and growing fan base, LAUNDER is definitely one to watch in the world of dream pop. So, if you're looking for music that will transport you to another world, look no further than LAUNDER. Just be prepared to get lost in his dreamy soundscapes – you may never want to come back.
