Love Letter

About

Love Letter isn't just a band; it's a sonic postcard from the Filipino alternative scene, drenched in reverb and longing. This Quezon City-based quartet crafts a melancholic yet undeniably catchy brand of dream pop, drawing heavily from shoegaze titans like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive while injecting their own distinctly Filipino sensibility. Their music, characterized by swirling guitars, ethereal vocals from lead singer Lui Marion, and a rhythm section that balances delicate restraint with explosive energy, evokes the feeling of a humid, star-dusted night. Love Letter initially gained traction in Manila's underground circuit, quickly graduating to larger festivals like Fête de la Musique. Their 2019 EP, "The Things We Were," marked a significant breakthrough, showcasing their refined songwriting and production. While comparisons to international acts are inevitable, Love Letter’s use of Tagalog lyrics in select tracks carves out a unique space for them, connecting with audiences on a deeply personal level. Notable performances alongside local favorites like Oh, Flamingo! and Cheats have cemented their status as a band to watch. Currently, Love Letter is reportedly working on their debut full-length album, promising a further exploration of their signature sound and a deeper dive into the emotional landscape they've already begun to map. They continue to release new singles, further solidifying their place as a driving force in the Filipino indie music scene.
