Late Again

Late Again is the dream-pop project of the Brazilian Brooklyn-based multimedia artist Rafael Melo.Born and raised on the coast of São Paulo, Rafael found in New York City a home for his music. With his distinct background, Late Again combines the raw irony of the big city with the intimate textures of his home country to create a unique blend of dream pop.

Since his debut in April 2024, Late Again has been steadily building momentum, drawing over1 million unique listeners on Spotify, hitting the SubModern charts, and packing shows on the East Coast.

Late Again has collaborated with Brazilian composer Arthur Verocai (BADBADNOTGOOD, Hiatus Kaiyote, Gal Costa), producer Heal Mura (Aldo, The Band), and visual artist Rollinos (Tame Impala, Toro y Moi, Metronomy). With a background in visual arts that ranges from award-winning films to videogames, Late Again's work tries to expand the boundaries of his music beyond the sound itself, in an effort to tell his stories in whichever medium it takes.

Drawing inspiration from artists ranging from Gorillaz to Caetano Veloso, or Tame Impala to Ryuichi Sakamoto, Late Again sits comfortably alongside dream-pop contemporaries such as Mac DeMarco, Still Woozy, The Marias, and Men I Trust.
