Los Angeles’ Allah-Las have dropped a new single, the sparkling and stutter–stepped “Right On Time.”
Allah-Las ‘ ‘Right On Time’ Through yet another hazy mirage of murky guitars, Allah-Las have re-emerged from hiatus with the trademark sounding ‘Right On Time’. With a simple, repetitive guitar-line, the track takes on a trance-like whirling disposition. They’re still cool, they’re still shabby and dishevelled, and they’re still very singular. Allah-Las self-produced video for the single pays homage to the classic plug-and-play video shoots of the early MTV era, shot in a few hours on a white backdrop with minimal planning and a few rolls of 8mm film, the second video release from the forthcoming album “Zuma 85” captures spontaneous moments of absurdity, along with a few properly synched video clips.
The song is another tease of the band’s forthcoming new album “Zuma 85” which will be released on October 13 via the band’s own label, Calico Discos, in partnership with Innovative Leisure, which released earlier defining statements from the band including the eponymously named “Allah-Las” (2012) and “Worship The Sun” (2014).
“”You can’t deny that the band still have the effortless cool locked in here” and Buzzbands LA said, “They’re calling it a reinvention, and one only needs to hear ‘The Stuff,’ to hear their song writing engine change gears.”
Like the album as a whole, “Right On Time ” represents a new chapter for the band as they embrace the influences of late-era Lou Reed and John Cale, and the ‘70s mutant pop.
