When the heart breaks, it sings. “Let You Go” is the second single off La Fonda’s debut album. We can’t get enough of this song, the minute we heard it we got stuck on it and we couldn’t get it out of our heads. It’s an emotional anthem wrapped in a blanket of high-quality rock. The melodies are so beautiful and the production is polished and sounds very professional. The lyrics are original and so touching and the vocal performance is incredibly catchy. This band simply knows how to make amazing music together, their music is unique and sets them apart from the crowd. This song was a great experience for our team!
ABOUT THE BAND:
La Fonda is a lyrically-driven indie dream pop band, defined by sister singer-songwriters Veronica and Valerie Topacio, exploring love, longing and loss with harmonically rich vocals, reverberating, 60s surf-esque guitars, driving bass lines and synths.
The group started in the summer of 2015 when Veronica and Valerie began writing songs and busking at Pike Place Market. The sisters grew up in a musical family where singing in the living room with guitars was a regular affair. Magic blossomed when they reconnected with guitarist Jesse Cole, friend from the past, whose blue-wave guitar style mixes perfectly with their harmonies. The Sisters and Cole then met their musical soulmate, bassist Bryan Dever. Weeks later, Bryan’s childhood friend Patrick Hodge joined the ensemble on keys/synth. As with many budding groups, the throne behind the drums saw several friends come and go. It wasn’t until after three years in that fate and proximity would lead them to Jacob Whinihan (Special Explosion) as their percussionist, joining the band in the spring of 2019 before launching on a month-long tour down the west coast to SxSW.
Cemented in musical comradery, La Fonda looks to their music as a compass to help each other navigate through the compounding pressures and disarray of adulthood while attempting to adapt and find their way in an ever-consuming digitized and radically polarized society. Making wake in the music scenes along the west coast over the last couple years of touring down to SxSw as well as building a presence in Seattle playing to sold out crowds, including opening for national touring acts such as Snail Mail and appearing in festivals like Capitol Hill Block Party, the band is burgeoning and looks to continue to tour and release music.
Nearing the end of production on their anticipated elementary album, La Fonda connects with their fans through discussing life living paycheck-to-paycheck, learning from break-ups, the lingering effects of infidelity, stripped confidence, and adolescent traumas. The family that makes up La Fonda hopes the vulnerability exposed in their music steers people closer to their core, reminding those who can hear them to show up fearlessly in love and life, broadcasting their most authentic, confident and beautifully vulnerable selves.
