And all the kids are fucked up And all the kids don’t care about love again And everybody’s caught up With the same growing pains of their ways So go down Lay out You’re not A mistake I’ve got Your heart It’s not My complaint Our mistake _ L is cinematic dreampop that’s part of Laveda's upcoming album, titled What Happens After. Movement via the band’s signature noise and guitar riffs center around a melodic chorus. What started as a faster tempo demo was eventually slowed down and brought back to life. “We ended up recording a live demo with Dylan at Hook & Fade Studios, with a slower tempo and lower key,” notes Jake. “The main guitar riff was done using a Fuzz Factory by Zvex, to get the super compressed ripping sound, and the synth (originally a guitar part written by Ali) was played on a Prophet, later reinforced with both Ableton and Logic Keys.” Once Laveda got things sounding right, the song “brought up imaginations of being at a high school dance in the 80s,” says Ali, which sparked the subject matter of the lyrics. “We intended this song to be more about what it makes you feel, rather than having an actual meaning. I wanted to reflect my generation’s approach to love, one where sex is scarily available with just a few taps on your phone and it’s cooler not to give a shit then actually be vulnerable. I think most young people really do want to be loved properly. This fashionable idea that love shouldn’t be fragile or imperfect and how it’s seen as a weakness by many is extremely damaging and makes life that much more difficult to maneuver through."

Laveda - Rager (Official Lyric Video)

Listen to our debut album "What Happens After" now - https://smarturl.it/laveda.wha Buy "What Happens After" on limited edition vinyl - https://lavedamusic.bandcamp.com Video by Derick Noetzel LYRICS Wasting time Going nowhere In my mind I’m alright To get by On the way down Glorified suicide Now it’s on fire There’s nowhere left to wander Soon everyone dies We’ll never find another Lose your mind Find a lover Watch them cry Nothings right Wish I died Sometime last year Hope i find Dawn tonight Now it’s on fire There’s nowhere left to wander Soon everyone dies We’ll never find another Maybe it’ll happen a billion years from now When the sun finally burns all it’s hydrogen Or maybe it’s only a matter of months until we kill ourselves with nuclear war Years ago when I was younger I didn’t think about how the end would look or sound or feel but the way our world and it’s people have seemed to move backwards in thought has pressed this idea up to the front of my skull And I’m looking out my window A hundred years from now as a member of a future generation And what I’m seeing is terrifying - Rager is the last released single from Laveda’s upcoming debut album, What Happens After. It’s fuzzy, loud and raw, standing out from the pack with an overly dramatic theory about how the end of the world would sound. “After the band found the sound for Rager,” says Ali, “I was immediately getting visuals of desert, wastelands, orange dust clouds, just post-apocalyptic chaos.” The band decided to make the lyrics about what the end of the world might look like with a song like “Rager” playing in the background. At the time the song was coming together, Ali was taking a post-apocalyptic literature class and had just finished reading Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. “I was incredibly moved by the entire book,” recalls Ali. “McCarthy’s descriptive language of horrifying and bleak settings painted vivid pictures. The Road ended up having a huge impact on my creative decisions throughout the entire record.” “Rager” started very indie pop, but once Ali and Jake tracked guitars for “Ghost” the band discovered a more fuzzed out, whammy bar bending tone to really work for their sound. Jake applied that same energy into the rhythm tracks for “Rager” and in doing so, the two were hearing things in the song reminiscent of more noisey bands like Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine. Jake fell asleep towards the end of the session, when Ali hopped in to experiment with lead guitar ideas. “She ended up plugging a SG into a Fuzz Factory by Zvex and recorded this dope noisey thing but then buried it in the mix. When we listened to the first wave of bounces I was like ‘what is happening in the post chorus section? It sounds like a guitar but I can’t tell what it’s doing.’ When we started finishing this song up we turned it up to hear it, and now it’s like one of the loudest tracks in the mix. A stroke of genius once again from Ali haha.” While keeping the same vocal melody Laveda originally had, this experimentation helped create Laveda’s hybrid between noise and pop.
