Bubble Tea and Cigarettes

Formed in 2020 in NYC and currently based in Seattle, Kat & Andi released their first LP, "There's Nothing But Pleasure," in 2022, which received wide acclaim around the world. Their first pressing of 1000 vinyls sold out within a week of the album's release, and their songs have been streamed over 20 million times across platforms. They had a 14-cities headline USA & Asia tour in March/April 2023 and packed every show, audiences drawn by their intriguingly haunting melodies.

Growing up in traditional families and grinding through high-pressure 9-to-5s in their adulthoods, this project is an emotional haven for Kat & Andi to unleash their dark fantasies and questions about the disheartening realities, in the form of love stories. As they grew up, artists who make truthful and vulnerable art have helped them through some of the most difficult times, so they are striving to create music in the same spirit, hoping to help people who are like themselves.

Their music is dreamy, cinematic, and melancholic. It's influenced by Japanese melodicism, European cinema music, Brazilian bossa nova, and a touch of American psychedelic. Their songs tell stories of post-adolescence romantics living dispirited but pleasure-seeking lives against the backdrop of a modern metropolis.

With their new album titled "we should’ve killed each other" released on November 1, 2024, and a planned tour featuring large festivals and venues worldwide, Bubble Tea and Cigarettes continues to bridge the gap between artful indie and commercial pop, capturing listeners' hearts worldwide.
