If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Rich Ferri I've been bringing you music from NOVA ONE for a while now, and I typically describe it as 60's doo wop meets modern indie rock. Their latest single, "light years," defies that description completely. The newest single from their upcoming album is heavily inspired by classic 60's music, but more lounge style. It's a quiet, absolutely gorgeous song. It's a very simple song showcasing just guitar and Roz Raskin's voice, but it is the most compelling music I have ever heard from them. "light years" is completely stripped down to the bare essentials, but I can't imagine needing anything more than what this song provides. You can listen to "light years" below. lovable, the debut album from NOVA ONE, will be out April 24 on Community Records. You can pre-order a copy here .

Photo by Kendra Rose Ever since I saw them opening for Deer Tick, I've been growing more and more obsessed with Roz Raskin's project NOVA ONE. Their latest single, "lovable," perfectly showcases why. NOVA ONE takes 60's girl group R&B and lets it shine through a bizarro indie rock filter. "lovable" is a little more pop than that sounds, but perfectly mixes modern pop with lo-fi indie rock. The guitar is making this slightly off tune racket while Raskin's vocals nail the girl group genre. None of this should work together at all, but the magic of NOVA ONE is that it does. Perfectly. For someone who grew up listening to the oldies station with their parents and came of age during the early 90's, "lovable" is perfect. You can listen to "lovable" below. NOVA ONE's debut full length, also called lovable , will be out April 24 on Community Records. You can pre-order it via Bandcamp . For more on NOVA ONE, check out the...

"violet dreams," the brand new single from Providence's NOVA ONE, is everything I started loving about NOVA ONE since I saw Roz Raskin's new project opening for Deer Tick. "violet dreams" is this chilled out indie rock song, leaning heavily towards dream pop. What truly sets NOVA ONE apart from other similar artists is the incredibly strong 60's girl group influence. Previous releases from NOVA ONE might have had a stronger noisy indie rock vibe, but this new song goes off in slightly unexpected directions every so often while staying one cohesive unit. We can't wait to hear more from Raskin as soon as we can. You can listen to "violet dreams" below. lovable , the new album from NOVA ONE, will be out April 24 on Community Records.
