Seattle’s La Luz play their hit song “You Disappear” for the Ethnic Cultural Hour. Things get weird. from One of my favorite albums of this year. This is the same surfy, harmony-rich La Luz that were sublime on their first LP, but now with even more energy and venom. In early 2015, La Luz adjourned to a surf shop in San Dimas, California where, with the help of producer-engineer Ty Segall, they realized the vision of capturing the band’s restless live energy and commiting it to tape. “Weirdo Shrine” finds them at their most saturated and cinematic — the sound of La Luz is (appropriately) vibrant, and alive with a kaleidoscopic passion
La Luz is a band in Seattle, WA, started in the summer of 2012 by Shana Cleveland (guitar), Marian Li Pino (drums), Alice Sandahl (keyboard) and Lena Simon (bass). Everyone sings. Songs by Shana and La Luz. a detour into a sunny California. The New album Weirdo Shrine has a Coachella melody. It vibrates your soul and wants you to stick your feet right into the sand and just chill out on the beach. This is what I would call a more suave female version of Cayucas. You would’ve thought they weren’t even from Seattle with these surfer rhythms and upbeat mood swings from calm to plain out Beating the drum. La Luz, in my opinion, will go down in history as the best all-female beach band.
