ONEDERLAND

Faithful to their name, Austin-based five piece Sasha and the Valentines have written a record about love. On their debut LP, So You Think You Found Love? (out via Oof Records), the promising young band has written the soundtrack to your next romance, capable of giving you the curly-phone-cord, calling-your-crush-for-the-first-time kind of butterflies. It follows the release of their 2019 EP, Green, and October-released single “Tears for Mars”—a song that reflects on the parallels between a toxic relationship and that of ours with the Earth. So You Think You Found Love? is a record that is as spectacularly iridescent as an oil spill on asphalt, while being equally as grounded, real, and brutally of consequence. Teaming up with producer Erik Wofford, whose list of previous collaborators is akin to a rap-sheet of indie rock luminaries: My Morning Jacket, Explosions in the Sky, Bill Callahan, Molly Burch, The Octopus Project, and Grupo Fantasma—the latter of which garnered a Grammy win—the band leveled up into arrangements of romance and reverberated heartache previously unapproachable.
