New Entry: Launder Releases New Single "Intake"

L.A dream pop/shoegaze musician John Cudlip aka Launder has released his new single "Intake".

The song is taken from his forthcoming debut full-length album 'Happening', set to be released on July 15 through Ghostly International. Pre-order your copy here.

“‘Intake’ carries the rhythm of someone and something new, anticipating all the best and all the worst,” Launder’s John Cudlip explained in a statement. “These themes inspired a faster tempo and ascending chords. I let this track be indulgent in all the best ways and really leaned into all of the cleaner guitar sounds and single note guitar interplay similar to the early Launder songs. For those reasons, this track is a total joy for me and was a lot of fun to rehearse and record.”

Soko takes the lead vocal duties on "Become," which rides an interwoven bassline between gauzy guitars, both shimmering and shattered. "This is the most collaborative track on the record, and it's cool when that works out, I couldn't have made this song what it is by myself," adds Cudlip.

Launder Announces Debut LP 'Happening', Shares Two New Songs

L.A dream pop/shoegaze musician John Cudlip aka Launder has announced the release of his debut full-length album 'Happening'.

After nearly three years and sixty demos, Launder's full-length debut is happening, it will be out on July 15 through Ghostly International, featuring new singles "Chipper" and "Unwound". Get your copy here.

John Cudlip signed to Ghostly to build his recording project, developed out of casual sessions with friends Jackson Phillips (Day Wave), Soko, and Zachary Cole Smith (DIIV).

With live shows paused in 2020, he immersed fully into writing and arranging an overflow of ideas. Cudlip also embraced sobriety, redirecting his once-destructive addictive tendencies into studio craft — all his thoughts consumed by melody and texture, all his resources lobbed into gear, every buzz, hiss, and hum of this record became his entire world. The resulting set sprawls across a double LP release; it's a considered beast of a debut and he's proud of it, living with it, finally. Through its thirteen songs, Happening is timeless, grappling with something bigger than just melody, the cathartic and the tender, indebted to indie rock greats while informed by modern and prudent self-reflection.
