Midweek singles roundup: New songs from from Child Seat (featuring Jeff Schroeder of Smashing Pumpkins), Launder (featuring vocals from SoKo) and 17-year-old KALI. Both Child Seat and KALI have shows tonight.
The good news is that SoKo and her family have all recovered from COVID-19. The bad news is that it took the French singer-songwriter/actress a month to shake the bug. With her new album “Feel Feelings” coming in June, SoKo tells Buzz Bands LA about family time, movie picks and mellow music in today’s episode of QUARANTUNES.
French singer-songwriter Soko delivers the heart-melting chorus on “Keep You Close,” the new single on Launder’s “Pink Cloud” EP. The debut release arrives April 27.
Produced by Jackson Philllips of Day Wave, singer-guitarist John Cudlip’s debut EP as Launder comes out in March. It features contributions from singer Soko and guitarist Zachary Cole Smith of DIIV.

She just announced that her sophomore album, the boldly titled “My Dreams […]
An aura of sentimentality permeated the Shrine Auditorium on Friday night – not only were Foster the People nearing the end of a long tour with a hometown show, but it was only a short distance from the downtown building that was the scene of a dust-up earlier this year. There, on the north wall of […]
