Laveda is an Albany, NY-based duo consisting of Ali Genevich and Jake Brooks, later expanding into a full band. Emerging in the late 2010s, they quickly established a sound that synthesizes the melodic sensibilities of 90s dream pop (The Sundays, Mazzy Star) with the textural density of classic shoegaze (My Bloody Valentine).
Their 2020 debut, 'What Happens After', was a critical success that positioned them within the modern 'nu-gaze' movement, characterized by higher production values and a focus on coming-of-age themes. Their follow-up work, particularly 'A Place You Grew Up In' (2023), moved toward a more expansive, polished sound influenced by 90s alternative rock and contemporary indie. Culturally, they occupy a space alongside artists like NewDad and Hatchie, appealing to a listener base that values both sonic atmosphere and emotional vulnerability. Their work is frequently noted for its 'suburban' aesthetic, capturing the specific ennui of American youth through shimmering arrangements and introspective lyrics.
