La Luz

This dreamy, upbeat Brooklyn band will charm you with their surf-rock guitars, ooh-ahh vocals and lush, keyboard-driven melodies. But every once in awhile you taste a little salt in the sugar—a hint of psychedelics, a garage-rock riff, an echoey yowl, an ominous lyric about worry and want. Their third record, Floating Features, drops May 11.
