Veronicavon – Riptide (February 2026)

LISTEN:

Bewitchingly dreamy and glowing with fuzz, veronicavon is the brainchild of songwriters Chris Hackman (Human Barbie) and Xuan Nguyen (Xuan), who joined forces in 2020 with a (secret) plan to stay sane and explore uncharted horizons in lo-fi pop. Together, they conjured a universe of grainy synths, cassette-drenched drums, and warbling guitars, where Nguyen’s enchanting vocals swirl in a wistful, playful, and instantly addictive dreamscape… Dubbed by Flood Magazine as "casually devastating," veronicavon quickly found a passionate audience with their hypnotic bedroom aesthetic, pulling in over 500k streams in their first year on spotify, and landing on editorial playlists like ‘Fresh Finds’, ‘Borderless’, and ‘Fuzzy’; keep a close eye on this duo as they gain momentum and follow in the path of alt-pop icons like Men I Trust, Alvvays, and Japanese Breakfast.
