All Clean: The Indie Pop Sensation
All Clean is an indie pop band from Portland, Oregon, known for their shimmering guitar tones and introspective lyricism. The group achieved mainstream recognition with their 2018 album Glass Feelings, which charted on the Billboard 200 and spawned several alternative radio hits.
Early career
The band formed in 2012 around the core duo of vocalist-guitarist Maya Vance and bassist Leo Chen. Initially performing under different names at local DIY venues, they self-released their first EP, Static Bloom, in 2014, which caught the attention of the independent label Tiny Room Records.
Breakthrough
All Clean's breakthrough arrived in 2018 with their sophomore album, Glass Feelings, released via Tiny Room. The lead single, "Neon Pulse," became a staple on college radio and cracked the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, leading to the album's debut at number 187 on the Billboard 200.
Key tracks
Neon Pulse — This breakthrough single defined their signature blend of jangly guitars and synth-pop undertones, receiving heavy rotation on alternative radio stations.
Pacific Standard — A track from their debut album that became a slow-burn fan favorite and a consistent setlist closer during their early tours.
Glass Feelings — The title track from their breakthrough album showcased a more ambitious, layered production style and earned critical praise.
Fault Lines — This 2021 single featured a collaboration with producer Jorge Elbrecht and marked a shift towards a denser, more atmospheric sound.
Following the success of Glass Feelings, All Clean embarked on extensive North American and European tours. Their third studio album, 2021's Fault Lines, saw them experimenting with more electronic textures while maintaining their melodic core, and it debuted at number 112 on the Billboard 200. The band has collaborated with artists like Japanese Breakfast on the track "Mirrorball" for a charity compilation and contributed to the soundtrack of the Netflix series The Imperfects in 2022.
