(Indie Pop, Singer-Songwriter) Laureline - Wash - 2019, MP3, 320 kbps

Laureline is a Los Angeles based indie pop band composed of Chris Rasmussen (vocals/guitar), Ciera Bardowell (vocals/keys/guitar), Nico Hernandez (drums/percussion), and Marian Nutley (bass). With just a few weeks left until their debut single, “I Love You,” is released, Chris and Ciera sat down with me to discuss their roots, the way the internet is changing music, and so much more.

Independent indie-pop trio fuse a singer-songwriter route with bold synths and vocal harmonies in their music. Laureline compliment an atmosphere fuelled of feelings and escapism’s. Diving into themes such as love and loss, the group surface visuals and hold your attention with their elevating melodies and use of space. With scenes of often dark lyrics and an intimate arrangement, Laureline contrast elements of the 80’s with their use of synth-pop. Now back with the leading single ‘Wash’ off their debut album, which is due for release tomorrow, the breathtaking soundscape will leave you simply breathless.
“WASH IS THE ONLY LOVE SONG ON THE ALBUM. HOWEVER, IT DOESN’T SAY “I LOVE YOU” AS MUCH AS IT SAYS “YOU UNLOCK AN OVERWHELMING SENSE OF LOVE WITHIN ME.” IT FELT IMPORTANT THAT, DESPITE THE ALBUM PRIMARILY EXPLORING LOSS, THE NAME CAME FROM A DEEP SENSE OF LOVE AND GRATITUDE.” – LAURELINE
Creating their own spacious soundscape, the dreamy track blends an ethereal arrangement while percussive instrumentation blankets around it. Featuring a killer production, the overall glow of the track is polished but it’s raw ability to tell a story will leave you on your knees begging for more. About living in cognitive dissonance, the powerful message in the humble number feels relatable and with the memorable melody, it’ll leave a mark in your head.
