Launder is the moniker of Californian artist John Cudlip. The artist moved from Dana Point, CA to Los Angeles last year before getting introduced to Day Wave‘s Jackson Phillips. Then, the two started to work on Launder’s debut “Pink Cloud EP” in Jackson‘s home studio in Echo Park. The two were helped by French singer-songwriter Soko, whose vocals are featured on several tracks of the EP, and by DIIV‘s Zachary Cole Smith on guitar as well.

Following up to previously shared single “Fade”, Launder has now unveiled the opening track of the EP. “Annie Blue” is a melancholic and infectious indie-pop anthem and we guess it’s a relevant tune to drive along the Californian coast anytime.

Launder‘s debut “Pink Cloud EP” was produced by Jackson Phillips and will be available on March 23.

Colin, or Colin Caulfield, signed one of our favourites video of 2017 with “People Talk About Me“. Indeed, the artist who is known to play keys for DIIV is trying to go solo for some time and really caught our attention with his previous single. Now, he’s just shared a new song which is once again produced by Unknown Mortal Orchestra‘s bassist Jake Portrait. About “Bullshit”, Colin Caulfield detailed:

[su_quote]I wrote ‘Bullshit’ a few years ago during one of those bouts of socially active loneliness. I was in New York meeting a lot of people, but not feeling very close to anyone. And all that led me to missing an old relationship that I knew wasn’t any good for me. I didn’t miss all the drama and conflict, but I did miss how she would call me out on my bullshit. Everyone needs that sometimes.[/su_quote]

Colin‘s “PEOPLE TALK ABOUT ME” is a middle finger to all the people out there who keep on gossiping about him. In the amazing Steven Ross-directed visuals that go with it, Colin is recreating iconic music videos and doesn’t hesitate to dress up like Lana Del Rey, Princess Nokia, Grimes, Mac DeMarco, FKA Twigs amongst others. The final rendition is sassy, works pretty well and could actually become an anthem for all the famous musicians who are fed up with having their life polluted and written by gossipers.
