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!

In Spanish, La Luz means "light" and that's the perfect thing to evoke when your songs give the illusion of veering in the opposite direction. But lift out most any lyric—which is a good excuse to give a closer listen to the delicate, four-part harmonies that are fast becoming the band's signature—and you'll find that the aches and pains of love and loss, of living in a world where no foothold is ever a promise—all this is delivered with a nuanced dose of perfectly timed exhilaration, like the whole thing might just be worth it in the end. Last spring, La Luz returned to that steamy trailer park to record It's Alive - the much-anticipated follow up to Damp Face - with their friend and engineer Johnny Goss. From the first get-psyched drum roll and eerie chords of Sure As Spring, the dinged-up pop gem that opens the album, the rest moves like a slow drive on a dangerous road, slinking and bending as the terrain shifts.
