Redbud started as a passion (and let’s be real, therapy) project for Katie Claghorn during the pandemic. Following the release of the group’s debut EP Long Night in 2023, Redbud has been blossoming. At this point, it’s becoming increasingly harder to find people who haven’t heard of Redbud.

The group returns with their follow-up album All Chorus next month, and they’ve been kind enough to give us a little taste. Specifically, they’ve given us a pink pear. The new song shows the indie pop group’s growth and graduated cohesion amongst themselves. “Pink Pear” shows experiments in new directions for Redbud, adding more intricate layers and an edge to their sound. But the slightly blurred, catchy hooks and Claghorn’s ethereal voice remain at the center.

And the band remains booked and busy. Redbud has five shows next week during SXSW, the first one being next Tuesday afternoon far away from the SXSW crowds at Double Trouble on North Loop.

“Pink Pear” is out now. All Chorus is out April 25th.

Tues 3/11 @ Double Trouble (103 N Loop Blvd E)
