New York’s Laveda have been a bit of a marmite band for me. Depending on the track, it’s either a love or hate relationship. Troy Creeps, the fourth single to be taken from the forthcoming album A Place You Grew Up In, sits in the former camp. It’s a delightful dreampop/shoegaze hybrid song that twists and turns. Ali Genevich’s voice, which give the band some comparisons to The Sundays, gives them an edge over a number of their peers as they blend in nicely with the hazy guitars which get nice and fuzzy as the song draws to a close.
Maybe it’s time to revisit the other singles from the album that have not grabbed me so much. A Place You Grew Up In will be released on 14 April 2023. You can pre-order it from Paper Cup Music.
