Los Angeles’ La Luz return today with their new single, “In the Country”, the group’s first new material since the release of Floating Features, their acclaimed album of 2018.
Shana Cleveland, the band’s frontperson, offers this on the themes behind the song:
“I moved to the country a few years ago after living in cities for most of my life. Being out in the middle of nowhere makes it easy to imagine how it would be possible to leave society all together. I love how in this track some of the most unnatural elements of the arrangement (synthesizers, fuzz, effects) create an atmosphere around the instruments that ends up feeling very natural – I can hear bugs buzzing around and bird sounds in different directions.”
You can watch La Luz’s new visualizer for “In the Country,” which was created by the band’s own Lena Simon, HERE.
