Active since the late aughts, avant-soul collective Ava Luna has been coherently following a peculiar musical path that largely predated NYC’s soul revival of the mid ’10s, while embedding itself in the Brooklyn scene through that hub of creativity that is Bushwick’s DIY institution Silent Barn, a space they help running which hosts live shows, art installations, a barber, and also a recording studio. That’s where Ava Luna mostly self-produced their fourth album "Infinite House" which is released today on Western Vynil, and showcases a band at the peak of their creativity and maturity. Its eleven tracks are a homage to variety and experimentation, where beautiful melodies are juxtaposed to thunderous – but still soulful – sonic exposions, and doo wop harmonies learn to coexist with atonal guitars vaguely reminiscent of Arto Lindsey from the Modern Lovers years. Occasional hints of Bossanova, Funk, Noise Rock, Folk and Lounge music contribute to make this musical puzzle so mesmerizingly unconceivable that it borders on sublime. Check out single "Billz" below, and don’t miss the band’s release parties at Baby’s All Right on April 17 and Silent Barn the following day.
