New York dream-pop duo Laveda return with the atmospheric and intimate "Troy Creeps," a single about that rare yet beautiful intersection where loneliness can give birth to overstimulation. Taking from their upcoming sophomore effort, A Place You Grew Up In, the track plays like a stroll through endless sleepless city streets, whilst your mind becomes louder than the noise coming outside of your window.
A duo consisting of Ali Genevich and Jake Brooks, Laveda fuses shimmering guitars and atmospheric textures in their songwriting that is at once nostalgic and modern. With "Troy Creeps," that signature sound creeps into the sky with a vast landscape of dreamy sentiment laced over an emotional undercurrent. Jacob Brooks and Ali Genevich create a lush sonic layering while also maintaining a degree of intimacy that makes the song feel so intimate.
The most interesting element about the single is the image behind it. Channeling all the pent-up energy of overheard arguments, thin walls, and silent nights that never come in Brooks' years living in a Troy, New York apartment. That atmosphere pervades every inch of the track, endowing it with a motion picture life and breath. Meanwhile, Genevich paints the song as a way of expressing the long nights spent in solitary reflection, which yield the rawest and tenderest ache that remains through the final fading note.
