Los Angeles based artists yungatita & Harmless have teamed up to release a new remix that fans can relish in amid the stresses of COVID-19. “7 Weeks & 3 Days” is arguably yungatita’s crowd favorite, as it gained a great deal of popularity streaming over 200k listens on soundcloud prior to being officially released on her debut EP “Over You” early this January.
Combining yungatita’s regretful and mournful voice asking “why you gotta say goodbye?” over Harmless’ deep synths and club like drums, we get a lofi, nu disco-esque track that leaves listeners feeling hopeful for sunnier days when we can all dance together again. 7 Weeks & 3 Days (Harmless Remix) will be released via Counter Culture Records on April 10th, 2020.
yungatita spent 2019 writing her now released debut EP Over You and playing live shows both as herself and as a key member of Katzù Oso’s touring band. She kicked off 2020 performing her EP at Redacted Fest in Los Angeles, opening for Michael Seyer in San Francisco’s Noise Pop Fest, and will continue to release more music this year. Yungatita’s EP – released on January 4th, 2020 – was featured on Apple Music’s INDIY playlist and received spins from KXLU, KALX & more.
Harmless spent his 2019 writing his debut EP Condiciones which was independently released earlier this year. Chronicling his encounter of being hit by a drunk driver, Condiciones garnered write ups and attention from Paste Magazine, Atwood Magazine & Impose Magazine.
Harmless & yungatita will embark on a west coast tour this July. Tickets can be found through their social media accounts.
YUNGATITA’S SOCIALS
HARMLESS’ SOCIALS
ABOUT YUNGATITA:
Yungatita is a multimedia project by Los Angeles based artist and musician, Valentina Zapata. Using a variety of different mediums: from canvas, cityscape, and soundscape, Yungatita delivers impressions on everything and nothing at all, filtered through the kaleidoscopic curiosities of a person in a state of constant daydream.
As a multi-instrumentalist, all of Yungatita’s music is written in the confines of the bedroom and focuses primarily on translating emotion, nostalgia, and colors into sound.
ABOUT HARMLESS:
Two years ago, Nacho Cano was nearly killed by a drunk driver while riding his bike to work. On the eve of the accident, the rising artist had just finished his last EP, A Donde Te Vas?, with eager hopes to share it with the world. He had just inked a deal with management, and was starting to find himself on a path to success. Although the EP was shared, Cano struggled with recovery and his career was put on pause; Cano fought to return to life.
Previously, Cano had made a name for himself with driving guitar pop a la Wild Nothing or Diiv, but in the wake of his accident, he’s shed the indie rock stylings for dreamy R&B, layered with bright synths, smooth vocals and saxophone flourishes. It recalls the moody, beautifully saturated music of artists like Blood Orange and Solange. Condiciones is available on all streaming platforms.
