ALLAH-LAS NEW VIDEO ‘TELL ME (WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND)’

‘Tell Me’ EP released 2nd July 2012 on Innovative Leisure

Greil Marcus liked to refer back to “The Old, Weird America” when discussing a certain, famous set of recordings that emanated from a    Woodstock cabin basement. ALLAH-LAS sound like the Old, Weird Los Angeles: Strains of true surfing music, American harmonies, Sunset    Strip backbeat, desert ramble filtered through Goldstar Sessioneers; That pre-fuzz pedal ‘electrified folk’ music and pop groups hitting    the California sound with the tambourine on just the right beat.  

This group sounds like bungalows in canyons; hidden deco stair steps peeking from leafy hillsides; kustom kars and dovetails and chicks in OP shorts with long, long hair, like a Dennis Hopper photo come to life. You look at their well worn Fender guitars, their real    surfer tans, their dusty suede boots – and you see it’s a sound    natural to them; This isn’t an act.

“It’s apt that this band was founded in the back of Amoeba Records, because their sound feels like a long lost 1960s B-side gem that you find under racks and racks full of dusty records.”- LA Weekly
