Pink Laces conjure enchanting synthpop, seamlessly swerving between intimate and enormous. The songs made by Elijah Hendrix Wahlberg’s prolific alter-ego are designed equally for headphones, dancefloors, and massive stages. As soundscapes shimmer and swirl, with live instrumentation, and a flourish of psychedelia, Pink Laces invites listeners to an immersive experience. It feels like both a deep discussion with a dear friend and a joyous celebration. Disclosures, the debut album from Pink Laces, resonates as both fresh and familiar. The electro-rock and timeless pop of Pink Laces has drawn favorable comparisons to Tame Impala and Joywave. Pink Laces began as a duo, then evolved into Wahlberg’s singular musical identity. Disclosures, as its name implies, is a revelation. Soulful, hypnotic, insistent, and charming, songs like “Paradigm” and “You and I” are lush and inviting. Like the best of alt-pop music, a genuine sense of fun persists throughout. It’s clear Wahlberg has a good time making this music, which is infectious. The music, and the way it connects with people, is undoubtedly about the atmosphere, synths, melodies, and hooks. But plenty is owed to Wahlberg’s outlook and personal style. Case in point: the very moniker. “I was bored on a flight one day, filling a random Notes app page with different ideas for band names and song titles,” he once explained. “I looked down at my sneakers. I had Pink Laces.” ~ Ryan J. Downey
