Her’s was a Liverpool-based band made up of members Stephen Fitzpatrick and Audun Laading. Their dream-pop tracks often featured low vocals softened by glowy guitar loops.
Her’s’ genius shines in this gorgeous performance of hit “What Once Was.”
The saddest part of writing about Her’s is having to talk about them in the past tense.
While on their 2019 tour, the young duo passed away near Tonopah, Arizona. Still, as shown by the comments on the above YouTube video, their fans will be forever grateful for the beauty and possibility Her’s brought to dream pop.
We’re lucky to have the albums Her’s made during their time alive, and we can’t think of a better way to honor them than listening to those original masterpieces, seeking out more sick dream pop, and crafting playlists inspired by their tunes.
