New Constellations Are At “Waterslides”
Today, New Constellations unveil “Waterslides,” a slow-burning, airy single built on breathy vocals and emotional freefall. From their upcoming debut album It Comes in Waves (May 15, Nettwerk), the track moves with a soft, stretched pace that captures the feeling of being pulled into something unknown but impossible to resist. The single arrives on the heels of their Lollapalooza announcement, where they’re set to take the Mainstage this summer.
“Dandelion is a tender, introspective song about love tested by doubt and emotional distance. The quiet push and pull between trust and self-protection. It captures the fragile moment when two people consciously separate yet remain deeply connected, holding space for vulnerability, longing, and the hope that love can still find its way back.”
— Harlee on “Dandelion”
The accompanying music video picks up where the “Dandelion” music video left off, following the same two characters as their as their relationship begins to take shape. The video leans into the restless, giddy feeling of having a crush you can’t stop thinking about.
The duo will join synth-pop heavyweights The Midnight this spring on a major North American tour. Several dates are already sold out including Orlando, Washington, DC (night one), and Brooklyn, with the run culminating in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium on May 15, the same day It Comes In Waves is released. The tour marks New Constellations’ most high-profile national support slot to date, placing them in front of devoted synth-pop audiences as momentum builds toward their debut album. They have also just announced a run of UK and EU dates for September, expanding their international footprint.
Since announcing their debut album, the duo have shared a run of singles that map the album’s emotional terrain: “Dandelion,” a synth-heavy love letter to unwavering devotion; “I Disappear,” a raw and introspective meditation on anxiety, self-doubt, and losing yourself inside your own thoughts; “Believe Again,” a tender thank-you letter to Case’s younger self; and “Secret Safe,” a synth-driven ode to friendships that endure distance and time. Together, they shape the emotional foundation of It Comes In Waves — a document of growth, personal, creative, and relational, tracing the evolution of two Oregon teenagers recording songs in a childhood bedroom into one of indie pop’s most emotionally resonant partnerships.
Following a breakthrough period that included more than 130 million streams on their viral debut single “Hot Blooded” and 21 million views on the accompanying music video, a rapidly expanding fanbase, and an NPR Tiny Desk submission for “Hot Blooded” that has more than 1.2M views, New Constellations enter 2026 with renewed clarity and purpose. Regardless of the subject it tackles, friendship, love, mental health, career uncertainty, or self-belief, It Comes In Waves stands as a keepsake for anyone learning how to sit with their feelings as they rise and fall. Catch them live this year headlining, with The Midnight, and at BottleRock, Lollapalooza, and Reeperbahn festivals. All confirmed dates are below.
