Brooklyn-based retroshade bursts onto the scene with their haunting debut single ‘Ursa Minor‘, a celestial anthem
wrapped in moody guitars and dreamy, otherworldly vibes. The female-fronted power trio channels serious 4AD energy, blending the shadowy allure of shoegaze with the delicate ethereality of dream pop. ‘Ursa Minor’ feels like a hymn to the unseen world, with brooding vocals that swirl around shimmering guitars and pulsing rhythms, pulling listeners into a hazy, atmospheric journey through the cosmos. It’s equal parts gloomy and uplifting, proving retroshade knows how to balance the weight of the void with a tangible sense of emotional release. Their sound taps into elevated frequencies, offering a fresh yet nostalgic vibe that feels both timeless and out of this world.
If this track is any indication, this trio’s got their eyes on the stars—and they’re taking us with them.
