New Constellations

New Constellations brings its atmospheric, contemporary sound to the stage in a live performance from Portland-based duo Harlee Case and Josh Smith. The pair has spent years developing their musical partnership, gradually building an audience through emotionally resonant songwriting, polished production, and a growing presence across streaming, film, television, and live music.

The duo’s breakout debut single, “Hot Blooded,” has surpassed 220 million streams, establishing New Constellations as a notable emerging act while introducing their music to listeners well beyond the traditional indie circuit. The song has also found an audience through prominent sync placements, including the Netflix film Voicemails from Isabella and EA Sports FC 2026. A recent remix with STRFKR further expands the track’s reach while connecting New Constellations with another influential name in alternative music.

Their debut album, It Comes in Waves, released through Nettwerk, represents a major step in the duo’s evolution. Across the record, Case and Smith explore a sound that balances accessible melodies with a broader atmospheric quality, reflecting the musical identity they have developed together over the years.

New Constellations’ growing reputation is especially evident in their touring history. The duo recently completed a run of 38 sold-out shows across the United States, followed by headline performances throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. They have also appeared at major festivals including Lollapalooza, BottleRock, Austin City Limits, and Corona Capital, placing their music in front of audiences ranging from intimate club crowds to large festival gatherings.

For fans discovering the duo through “Hot Blooded,” It Comes in Waves offers an opportunity to hear the wider musical world behind their breakout success. For longtime listeners, the live setting provides a chance to experience that material alongside the energy and chemistry that have developed through extensive touring.

New Constellations arrives at an important moment in their career: a period marked by international performances, a successful debut album, major streaming milestones, and an expanding audience. Their upcoming appearance offers a snapshot of a band continuing to grow while bringing its carefully crafted songs into a live environment.
