Swiss-based musician Andy Jossi, a member of The Churchhill Garden and American-born singer/songwriter and musician Gretchen DeVault, a member of The Icicles, Voluptuous Panic, The Francine Odysesys, and Hero No Hero started their transatlantic collaboration The Blue Herons back in 2020. And in a short period of time, the duo began quickly crafted a sound that draws inspiration from C86 and Sarah Records heyday — think of bands like Even As We Speak and Heavenly — and contemporaries like Alvvays and Hatchie.

With an initial batch of singles that quickly garnered attention and acclaim, the duo experienced a growing profile across the international jangle pop and indie rock scenes. Building upon a growing profile, the transatlantic duo’s full-length debut, Go On, which was released to a limited run through Subjangle Records earlier this year, is a compilation of the band’s acclaimed singles over the past couple of years, remastered and remixed, along with two previously unreleased singles. Sonically, the album’s material is rooted around catchy melodies, soaring vocals and shimmering guitar riffs.

The album’s latest single “ladybug” is a nostalgia-inducing bit of jangle pop, anchored around shimmering layers of Jossi’s Johnny Marr-like guitar, a propulsive rhythmic groove and some remarkably catchy hooks paired with DeVault’s gorgeous and expressive delivery. The song’s narrator is offering warning to its subject, that if they continue being a two-timing fool that they’ll lose their chance with a truly special woman. If you’ve been in that situation, this song will hit close to home.
