Luna Luna, Boyo, Estereomance [control room]
Great news, Austin! We’re now home to the swoony, extra-smooth sounds of bilingual synth-pop quartet Luna Luna, recently relocated from Dallas. Originally the solo project of Colombian-born songwriter Kavvi, the frontperson’s iPhone recordings, created while working at Walmart, evolved into floaty tracks like 2018’s “80’s Tune.” August album Flower Moon loops in bassist Ryan Gordon, drummer Kaylin Martínez, and vocalist/keyboardist Danny Bonilla. The groovy effort rides 2000s R&B flare alongside the salsa and bachata Kavvi grew up on, still true to slow dance potential with “Love Song.” L.A. multi-instrumentalist Boyo and El Paso art-pop trio Estereomance open.
