NYC-based shoegaze and noise rock quartet Laveda return this fall with their third album Love, Darla, set for release September 12 through Bar/None Records. Building on the promise of their earlier work, the record finds the band sharpening their sound into something heavier, more urgent, and emotionally volatile.

The new record has already been previewed with a trio of singles. “Heaven” opened the campaign with a neon-lit swirl of fuzz and late-night intensity, captured in a one-shot video filmed at a crowded Brooklyn party. “Cellphone” followed, with jagged guitar lines and dissonant rhythms framing a critique of digital overload and the burnout that comes with it. Their newest single, “Strawberry,” shows the band at their most introspective—melding woozy textures, thick bass, and a haze of atmosphere into a song about inner conflict and the weight of outside noise.

Written and refined on the road, “Strawberry” became a blueprint for the album as a whole. Its mix of rawness and clarity reflects how the band’s songs evolved through live performance before being fully shaped in the studio. That energy carries into Love, Darla, where experimental tones, shoegaze atmospherics, and noise rock abrasion collide.

The album also marks Laveda’s first release with Bar/None Records, a label long associated with pioneering underground acts like The Feelies and Yo La Tengo. The partnership signals a new chapter for the band, trading the pastoral influences of their Upstate New York roots for the fractured, late-night aesthetic of Queens. The record was co-written by founding duo Ali Genevich and Jake Brooks, with bassist Dan Carr and drummer Joe Taurone providing the rhythmic backbone.

Laveda will celebrate the album’s release with a September 16 show at Baby’s Alright in Brooklyn, followed by a run of U.S. dates that includes stops in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Austin, and San Francisco.

With Love, Darla, Laveda deliver their most daring and emotionally resonant work to date—an album brimming with poetic angst, blown-out fuzz, and the raw beauty of a band pushing themselves into uncharted territory.
