While the music of dance-pop duo Couch Prints may have started as a far-flung, trans-Atlantic collaboration between childhood friends Brandon Tong (Bass) and former member Jacob Truax (Guitar), the project has undergone waves of transformation in the heat of several New York summers. After a chance meeting with vocalist Jayanna Roberts, the project assumed form through the shared desire to explore where guitar-based indie, electroclash, and dance music coalesce.
From the jump, this unique sound found curious ears across the world. A string of three singles, recorded in a now-demolished Greenpoint rehearsal space, landed them placements on NYLON, Gorilla vs Bear, David Dean Burkhart, and Spotify’s Fresh Finds playlist, as well as a record deal with Fat Possum imprint label Luminelle. They released their debut EP Tell U in 2020 with Luminelle, described as “"A profound illumination of the ineffable… an intimate rendering of the self and the world." by Atwood Magazine.
