Emerging Minneapolis-based dream pop/shoegaze outfit Lumari — twin brothers Dave West (drums) and Dan West (guitar/bass), Margo Pearson (vocals, keys) and Robert Caple (guitar, bass) — can loosely trace their origins back some time ago: The West Brothers have performed together internationally for several decades in a number of different projects.

They had the serendipitous — and rare — fortune of finding Pearson and Caple, who helped complete their latest band’s lineup. And along with acclaimed, award-winning producer/engineer Eric Olsen, the quartet have developed a sound that pairs shimmering guitar textures with expressive and soaring vocals while blurring the lines between genres and styles.

Last year saw the release of the Minneapolis-based outfit’s full-length debut En Phases. The album’s latest single “In Waves” is a gorgeous, hook-driven bit of shoegaze that subtly nods at Laurel Canyon-era rock in a way that reminds me a bit of FRANKIIE‘s gorgeous Between Dreams and Wax Idols: Shimmering and swirling guitar textures, glistening synths and driving rhythms are paired with Pearson’s expressive and yearning delivery.
