Babehoven is a band fronted by singer-songwriter Maya Bon and collaborator Ryan Albert in Hudson, NY. Their new album 'Water's Here In You' is available everywhere on April 26 via Double Double Whammy.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Written and recorded at the duo's home studio throughout the winter of 2022 — 2023, 'Water's Here In You' comes close on the heels of Babehoven's debut album 'Light Moving Time,' which followed an impressively prolific canon of shorter releases dating back to 2017, when Bon founded the project in college. Their latest album continues the thread of the band's sonic DNA — blending hyper-melodic indie and folk rock with shades of shoegaze and the occasional nod toward country. Across twelve varied and meticulous tracks, Babehoven offers their take on finding connection, groundedness, and growth in what we all carry within us.
After finishing the new record, Babehoven spent much of 2023 on the road — supporting acts like Slow Pulp, Indigo de Souza, MJ Lenderman, and more at home and nationwide. Keeping up their prolific track record, the band looks to continue touring and prepping new music throughout 2024 and beyond.
About Raavi
The Boston-born and New-York-City-based pop-rock unit Raavi has made constant reinvention a common thread through their five-plus years of making music together. Led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Raavi Sita, the quartet prides themselves on pivoting stylistically between each subsequent release and remaining in dialogue with the music communities surrounding them. The emo-adjacent catharsis that runs through the band’s previous discography—from the 2018 debut EP i miss you already to their 2019 debut album Don’t Hit Me Up to their EPs and singles of the 2020s—points back to their DIY roots.
However, Sita’s sharp melodicism and disciplined songforms have always also betrayed the influence of vintage singer-songwriters like Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake. The band’s new release, the EP The Upside, overlaps with the latter tradition. With fewer plugged-in sounds, it marks a left turn from the massive rock edifices that Raavi fans are used to. Its five richly poetic songs were written over the course of a few years, capturing different mini-eras in Sita’s life. They examine formative romantic encounters (“Take Me”), gender awakening (“Henry”), and disillusionment (“Shadows”). The experiences Sita describes on The Upside are sometimes upsetting, but the songs represent a triumph over adversity, serving as moves toward solidifying a fuller identity. Its candid and restrained songwriting makes it an essential listen for both devotees and newcomers.
