Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked Allyson Camitta to share a taste of her taste on Perfectly Imperfect.

Shallowhalo is a New York City-based synth pop duo comprised of frontwoman Allyson Camitta and bandmate Ezra Tenenbaum. They’ve been making dreamy electro tunes together since 2020 when Ezra and Allyson first started jamming, which eventually became their debut album No Fun. Yesterday they dropped a brand new single titled “Renaissance Affair” with a music video, shot by Jackie Young, of Allyson and May Rio wearing sunglasses & powdered wigs. Allyson also used to play synth in Harrison Patrick Smith’s band Turtlenecked and you’ve probably heard her “that’s what’s up!” during “Girls”. Lucky for us, Allyson is here to tell us what she’s been into.
