- Desert Island Cloud Discover the enchanting sound of New York’s dream-pop duo

Founded by duo Ali Genevich (vocals & guitar) and Jake Brooks (vocals, guitar & synths), Laveda released their polished and ethereal debut album in 2020.

As complex as it was colourful, ‘What Happens After’ saw the band compared to the likes of The Sundays and My Bloody Valentine and attracted glowing praise across the US and beyond.

NYC’s Look At My Records! lauded the two-piece as “a young band with a fully realised voice and perspective,” while Toronto-based music blog Ohestee also praised the release, writing: “Jacob Brooks and Ali Genevich explore the great yawning unknown. From the freedom and uncertainty that rests at your fingertips or the distant and possibly desolate future, they capture adolescent restlessness with big walls of sound and a dreamy melodious warble.”
