Brooklyn-based trio charms unveil a captivating debut single in “rudy,” a gorgeously produced success with shoegaze and dream-pop inclinations. “Are you thinking of me?” the serene vocals ask alongside clanking guitars, with the minimalist engrossment in the verses traversing grippingly into the layered escalations. There, warming guitar distortion and twinkling synth infusions combine with caressing vocal lushness. “rudy” is a fantastic debut from charms, who succeed in evoking “the complicated emotions of failed love and memories that follow us around the city.”
