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!

Self-styled "surf noir" sound a rawer, turbo-charged sequel that charts themes of loneliness, infatuation, obsession and death across eleven tracks, from the opening credits siren song of "Sleep Till They Die" to the widescreen, receding-skyline send-off of "Oranges" and its bittersweet epilogue, "True Love Knows." In describing Weirdo Shrine, Segall remarked that it gave him a vision of a "world...burning with colors [he'd] never seen, like mauve that is living." In "Oranges," the Brautigan poem which inspired the aforementioned track of the same name, the poet writes of a surreal "orange wind / that glows from your footsteps." These hue-based allusions are apt: the sound of La Luz is (appropriately) vibrant, and alive with a kaleidoscopic passion. Weirdo Shrine finds them at their most saturated and cinematic.
