Tonight / 206 If You Like Piña Coladas...
Posted by Emily Nokes on Sat, Dec 8, 2012 at 11:07 AM
(Hollow Earth) The mesmerizing sounds of La Luz remind me of hula-hooping on a yellow beach while slightly buzzed on piña coladas. Maybe after a breakup, but with a new make-out partner already in mind. A Seattle four-piece comprising Shana Cleveland and Marian Li Pino (the Curious Mystery) with Katie Jacobson and Abbey Blackwell, La Luz expertly float haunted Shangri-Las harmonies over spring-reverby surf and Farfisa-flavored organ melodies. It's catchy heartache music to keep you warm and dreaming all winter long. With the Hive Dwellers (the latest project from Olympia's favorite son, Calvin Johnson) and Stickers (top-notch no wave—a longtime Seattle favorite).
