About
New Constellations, the Portland dream pop and synthwave duo of Harlee Case and Josh Smith, got their first real moment of lift off with the 2021 debut single 'Hot Blooded', a serene 80s flavored synth pop track that showcased Case's expressive, full throated vocals. By the summer of 2025, the song had quietly racked up over 120 million streams on Spotify, which is a remarkable number for a duo that spent years just meeting up in their spare time to write. The Chicago Reader once described their sound as shimmering dance pop shaped by 80s synth bands and R&B, with moodier and more experimental detours mixed in. Their 2023 EP 'Lean In' gave listeners more to work with, and a debut album titled 'It Comes in Waves' is set to arrive in 2026.
