Californian garage rock band Allah-Las have announced a new album. »Zuma 85« will be released October 13, 2023 on Innovative Leisure. Exclusively on HHV, there will be an Orange Vinyl Edition, limited to 500 copies. It is the first album by the four-piece band since »LAHS«, which was released before the pandemic.
Built different
Allah-Las are known for their sun-kissed surf sound. On »Zuma 85«, this continues to form the framework, but more happens within it than before: »Vocoders, guitar solos and a steady, driving rhythm« give the sound a different colouring, although the underlying tone remains the sunset. As seen on the cover. Jon Divola’s photography shows the neglected interior of a house and juxtaposes it with nature, unimpressed, doing its thing in its endless beauty.
