Pebaluna is a fast upcoming indie-folk quartet revolving around the songwriting of singer Lauren Coleman which, as soulful as it gets, maintains a light-heartedness that can’t fail to seduce. Catchy blend of acoustic instrumentals and a soft-yet-powerful voice, the band’s output beautifully illustrates that old ‘less is more’ cliché. Skipping at ease from low to high notes with nonchalant grace, swaying from folk arrangements to groovy soul and more, scatting even, Coleman proved in the Acoustic EP a confident versatility which the ensemble will be exploiting further in a first album to be released on September 18th. You can catch Pebaluna at L.A’s Hotel Cafe on August 24th, and as a teaser here’s ‘No I Can’t’, first single off the upcoming record.- Tracy Mamoun
