a picture-perfect collection of echo-drenched space-age pop songs, too beautiful to work buzzes and pops into retro-futurist sonic bliss. from the vintage effects crackling throughout 'tiny head' to the cerebral repetition found on the title track, the luyas' smart, heady pop sounds vital and modern, yet utterly timeless. the band also knows how to write the perfect hook ('cold canada'), pairing it with the more cinematic and atmospheric ('spherical mattress,' 'worth mentioning,' 'what mercy is,') side of the band's elaborate vision. the luyas' vision stretches beyond the grooves of their new lp. this is the band that led 50 unsuspecting fans in brooklyn to a secret location where the band performed alongside a psychedelic lightshow... in a bedroom! the band recently self-funded an elaborate performance at pop montreal in which they created a fictional ecosystem using lighting, sculpture, costumes, actors and dancers. the band performed a full set in this labyrinth, creating a truly mystical happening, a one-of-a-kind show.
