The Blue Herons create wistful dreampop with a cinematic sense of space and emotion—songs that unfold like film scenes lit by jangling guitars. Drifting between sparkling jangle pop, atmospheric dreampop, and hazy jangle gaze, their music balances clarity and depth: chiming Rickenbackers softened by shoegaze textures.

Since coming together as a duo in 2020, the transatlantic pair of Andy Jossi (Switzerland) and Gretchen DeVault (United States) have crafted a distinct, heartfelt sound where Jossi’s glimmering guitars and intricate arrangements complement DeVault’s radiant vocals and effortlessly catchy melodies. Their music draws comparisons to The Sundays, Hatchie, Alvvays, and Cocteau Twins.

Their forthcoming album, Demon Slayer, out April 2026 on Shelflife Records, broadens their sonic palette and emotional range. Written over the course of a year, the album grew from an inspired back-and-forth between two prolific songwriters—trading sketches, melodies, and ideas across time zones. The result feels immediate and deeply collaborative: two distinct musical voices weaving texture and melody into something greater than the sum of its parts. What emerges is a sound rooted in melody but driven by feeling. 

Together, they build a world both intimate and expansive—music that shimmers, swells, and stays with you long after the last chord fades.
