Launder is a project led by vocalist Jesse Blum, who started working with guitarist Josh Grubb in Portland, Maine. Their music tends toward ethereal melodies and introspective lyrics, with a sound that draws from folk and indie elements.
They released their self-titled debut album in 2015, followed by "Happening" in 2017 and "From the Ashes" in 2019. Songs like "Annie Blue" and "Fade" show their preference for atmospheric arrangements and emotionally direct writing.
Blum's vocals often carry a vulnerable quality, giving the music a confessional feel without leaning too hard on production. The band's work stays fairly consistent in that mood across their releases.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
