WHAT IT IS: Multi-platinum D.C.-based trio SHAED have come a long way since their 2018 breakthrough “Trampoline,” which exploded globally following a MacBook Air spot that led to 2b+ streams, iHeart’s Alternative Songs of the Year list and a world tour. Consisting of twin brothers Max and Spencer Ernst and vocalist Chelsea Lee—who is now married to Spencer—SHAED have combined their love of folk-rock groups with modern electronic elements to create a distinctive sound that blends Lee’s vocal prowess with lush three-part harmony, ’80s synthesizers and acoustic instruments. After spending two years on the road promoting “Trampoline” and their largely self-produced MELT EP, SHAED’s dropped their first LP, High Dive, in 2021, which a full Macedonian orchestra. The trio is now working album. Their latest offering, “Everybody Knows I’m High,” arrived on 1/26.
