Hardly Art

Hardly Art is an independent record label based in Seattle, WA. Founded in early 2007 by Sub Pop Records, Hardly Art is run by three full-time employees and is distributed by the Alternative Distribution Alliance (ADA) and Sub Pop.

With a focus on discovering and promoting emerging artists, Hardly Art has established itself as a prominent player in the music industry. The label prides itself on its commitment to supporting artists who push boundaries and defy genres.

From indie rock to punk, pop to experimental sounds, Hardly Art's diverse roster showcases the best of underground talent. With a catalog that spans across various genres, there's something for every music lover on this innovative label.

La Luz is a band based in Seattle, WA, formed in the summer of 2012. The band consists of Shana Cleveland on guitar, Marian Li Pino on drums, Lena Simon on bass, and Alice Sandahl on keyboard. All members contribute vocals to their music. La Luz's songs are primarily written by Shana and the band.
Their unique sound draws inspiration from various genres including surf rock, garage rock, and psychedelic pop. With catchy melodies and intricate harmonies, La Luz creates a captivating musical experience for their listeners.
If you enjoy artists such as PAINT, White Fence, or Shannon & The Clams, then La Luz is definitely worth checking out. Their music has also been compared to bands like Mystic Braves and Night Beats. So if you're a fan of these artists or simply looking for some fresh tunes to add to your collection, give La Luz a listen!

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 honour 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.
