La Luz Dreams a Floating World of Surreal Surf-Noir

The now L.A.-based band La Luz recently moved to California from Seattle and their surf-noir refracts that weird golden paradise. Awash in reverb, the surf guitar and fuzzy vocal harmonies from singer/guitarist Shana Cleveland, drummer Marian Li Pino, keyboardist Alice Sandahl, and bassist Lena Simon are like a dreamy B movie, surreal, and kitschy, but definitely fun. The band joins us to play songs from their latest record, Floating Features, in-studio.

Watch the session here: 

Also, this video for their song, "Cicada," is spectacularly goofy. Wait for the band in the hospital room...
