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

With a prestigious slot at SXSW and two extensive US tours already under their belts this year, Laveda are now gearing up to release their second studio album ‘A Place We Grew Up In’ via Papercup Music in Spring 2023.

Featuring earlier singles including the sun-drenched “Surprise”, antsy and ethereal “F***”and slacker-tinted “Troy Creeps”, almost all of the songs on ‘A Place You Grew Up In’ were written between late March 2020 and summer 2021, before being recorded by the band while staying on a ranch just outside of Los Angeles. Produced by Dylan Herman (Beck, Pynkie), the album sees duo Ali Genevich (vocals/guitar) and Jake Brooks (vocals/guitar/synths) joined by Laveda’s full live band, including Dan Carr (bass) and Joe Taruone (drums).
