della terra
Della Terra is a new Austin band rooted in dream pop, spaghetti western, and indie noise-pop. The project brings together longtime collaborators John and Samantha Constant with producer Erik Wofford, moving from years of shared creative history.
The sound is layered and loose—vibraphone, organ, omnichord, synths, hazy guitars, pulsing rhythms, and warm melodic vocals. There are traces of ’60s pop, French yé-yé, shoegaze, film scores, and understated electronic music, but it all lands somewhere distinctly its own.
After years spent making dream pop and working in and around film music, Della Terra returns to the core: melodic, noisy, cinematic, and a little strange. Debut record coming in 2027.

"Mainstream electronic audiences may gravitate towards the happy and heartwarming, but Kodachrome (Della Terra) have other intentions. Their newest single “Rain In Vain” produces darker and mysterious sounds from the deep depths of Austin. The electric psych pop project unveil haunting and pleasantly intense sounds throughout every minute of the track. Layers of synth and bass make for a full and rich sound that gets your ears perked up right from the first second. Kodachrome throw in powerful vocals that are lush and long lasting for a rather memorable listening experience as well. Not often do you hear a new psych sound that isn’t too beholden to what came before, but Kodachrome set themselves apart with Rain and Vain."

"Written right after hot-shit producer Erik Wofford (The Black Angels, Maserati, Voxtrot, The Octopus Project, Explosions in the Sky) joined the band, this focused sophomore album by the potential breakout Austin dream-pop group is romantically adrift in the zero-gravity space-age fantasia of the late '60s and '70s. Coaxing similar vintage futurism to early Air and Ladytron, 10th of Always is all sleek, silvery lines and twinkling stars. Giving the voyage some bite and vibe are fuzzed edges and analog groans."

"Kodachrome (Della Terra) continue their RGB EP trilogy with the new release Green, a more somber and reflective outing than its predecessor Red. But Green is also a more groove-oriented release, skewed closer to Stereolab than Broadcast this time. The ethereal vocals and hazy tone that serve as Kodachrome’s signature traits are still out in full effect, but as EP closer “As Above So Below” shows, they’re served on top of an undeniably addictive beat. Once the trilogy is completed, Kodachrome will likely have a fully realized mood music triptych on their hands."

"Pysch indie rock band Kodachrome (Daela Terra) writes songs filled with dark choruses, driving beats, and layers of organs and synths. For any lover of that intoxicating combination, their recent EP RED is one not to be missed. Featuring the breathy vocals of front woman Samantha Constant, and a style reminiscent of The Cure, the band does an excellent job at crafting very dramatic songs. The track “All There Is” in particular has a moody tone that would work well in a film. From this song, it’s easy to see why Kodachrome is gaining notoriety on the local scene."
