Santiago (Chile) trio Las Margaritas are making their Wantlist debut today with their new 7-track EP Haru. It’s the band’s third EP since 2020, for those keeping score, and it showcases a band that knows their twee pop inside and out, with the talent to write indie pop hits that are both cutesy and punchy.

Listening to songs like Baby and Niebla, you get the sense that Winter has passed and Spring is here. Las Margaritas have a breezy, sunny disposition, but their singer’s voice also has that melancholic edge that works oh so well for indie pop. It’s that push and pull between bright melodies and wistful delivery that makes Haru something beyond saccharine.

Haru is out now on CD through Joyboy Records.
