listen to La Luz's new album 'Weirdo Shrine'

by Bill Pearis

La Luz

La Luz‘s new Ty Segall-produced album, Weirdo Shrine, is out next week (8/7) and the band are now streaming the whole thing over at NPR. It’s pure surf rock, but with no shortage of hooks, dark humor and general fun spirit. They’re just really good at it. Listen to the album below.

As good as the records are, seeing La Luz live is what will really win you over to their camp, and their North American tour starts soon. The NYC show happens at Bowery Ballroom on August 29 with openers EZTV and Scully. Tickets are still available.
