NYC-based noise rock/shoegaze quartet LAVEDA have signed to Hoboken, NJ-based label BAR/NONE RECORDS for their third album Love, Darla which will be released on September 12, 2025. “We’re excited to be working with a label that has a really incredible history of releases,” says Ali Genevich of Laveda, about signing to the legendary indie label, which has been home to iconic artists such as They Might Be Giants, Yo La Tengo, and Freedy Johnston. “It’s an honor to be a part of it!”
“I was beginning to notice the appeal of speed at parties having recently moved to NYC a few weeks prior to writing Heaven. NY party culture had always fascinated me but as I started experiencing it first hand I could see how easily one could get completely swept away. I was purely chasing a specific sound energy when I started writing Heaven. It was like wrestling an animal to get the idea finished. All I had was a catchy guitar line for the better part of a week. Usually forcing stuff doesn’t work out for me and I end up with something I hate but for some reason I couldn’t leave this one.”
