The Luyas: Too Beautiful To Work (Dead Oceans)

The Luyas: Too Beautiful To Work (Dead Oceans) - Quebec quartet The Luyas craft space-age pop that’s sweet and subversive. A galaxy of orchestral elements are combined in measure to yield some really interesting arrangements. Their humming hues and echoed effects glide through varied atmospheres with the greatest of ease. RIYL: Stereolab, Au Revoir Simone Recommended. Play 1 2 3 4 6 9

Mt St Helens Vietnam Band: Where the Messengers Meet (Dead Oceans)

Mt St Helens Vietnam Band: Where the Messengers Meet (Dead Oceans) - The sophomore release from Seattle's Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band builds tense atmosphere into the jangly songcraft. Their smoky, ash filled indie arrangements swirl strings, angular guitars, vintage keys and tumbling percussion. Bubbling progressive passages erupt with dramatic effect. Recommended.
