On
their
self-titled
fourth
album,
La
Luz
launch
themselves
into
a
new
realm
of
emotional
intimacy
for
a
collection
of
songs
steeped
in
the
mysteries
of
the
natural
world
and
the
magic
of
human
chemistry
that
has
found
manifestation
in
the
musical
ESP
between
guitarist
and
songwriter
Shana
Cleveland,
bassist
Lena
Simon,
and
keyboardist
Alice
Sandahl.
To
help
shape
La
Luz,
the
band
found
a
kindred
spirit
in
producer
Adrian
Younge.
Though
primarily
known
for
his
work
with
hip-hop,
soul,
and
jazz
acts,
Younge
saw
in
La
Luz
a
shared
vision
that
transcended
genre.
“We
both
create
music
with
the
same
attitude,
and
that’s
what
I
love
about
them,”
he
says.
“They
are
never
afraid
to
be
risky
and
their
style
is
captivating.
It
was
an
honor
to
work
with
them.”
The
result
is
an
album
that
is
both
the
most
naturalistic
and
psychedelic
of
the
band’s
career.
All
the
elements
of
classic
La
Luz
are
still
present—the
lush
harmonies,
the
impeccable
musicianship,
the
gorgeous
melodies—but
it’s
a
richer,
earthier
iteration,
replete
with
inorganic
sounds
that
mimic
the
surreality
of
nature—the
humming
of
invisible
bugs,
the
atmospheric
sizzle
of
a
hot
day.
After
spending
the
last
few
years
living
in
rural
northern
California,
Cleveland’s
lyrics
have
become
more
grounded,
less
interested
in
traveling
to
other
dimensions
than
in
peeking
behind
the
curtain
of
this
one.
With
sounds
ranging
from
ghostly
electric
guitar
shimmers,
charging
fuzz-guitar
rock,
soulful
organ-driven
dream-funk,
galactic
synths,
and
breezy
‘70s
folk-pop,
La
Luz
is
an
album
that
celebrates
love—of
music,
of
friendship,
of
life
in
all
its
forms.
