My Review: Laveda - Clean

 Laveda - Clean

The New York duo's second album is finally arriving in April, and the single that anticipates the release already gives us smiles and the desire to embrace the days, especially the bad ones, because these guys have energy and the desire to cross the dark areas of life with their blend of Twee-Pop, Dreampop, Alternative and Jangle Pop, making us rivers of clear water.

Clean is a heartbeat along the crowded streets of New York, between guitars smelling of Sarah Records and atmospheres that make us dance, while the lyrics convey confidence in the future even if there are recent scars. 

F*** is a trip into the lofty writing of Ali Genevich and Jake Brooks (who also feature Joe Taurone on drums and Dan Carr on bass on the album), with a display of guitars tuned to the sky and Ali's voice swimming in the eyes of the purest melody.

Surprise is more rhythmic, sturdy, with '90s Indie Pop echoes that make us jump to our feet to dance with this adrenaline rush cleverly contained within flights that know all too well the power of an up and down rollercoaster.

All you have to do is turn on the optimism and you will find with these three songs one more reason to do so...
