Luna Is Honey at On The Rox (KROQ Locals Only) 8.22

Coolbreeze, released June 1stis Luna Is Honey’s second EP (and fourth record). Under the cheeks, a fuzzy package of punk/post-punk/new wave/shoegaze influences sizzling under the California sun, with a warm energy and rollercoaster structure that switches between slow shimmering tracks and rough rapid ones, up and down and up again. The distortion & reverb de rigueur are sure present on the first couple of tracks, turning into pure instrumental freakouts punctuated with random sax spurts by ‘¿Cuál es Luna? ‘. Other than that though, hispanic flavours and smothered vocals don’t hurt a bit when it comes to brightening up their dense 80s-infused foudations. The band will be headlining a KROQ showcase of local talents on August 22nd at On The Rox (The Roxy), which will also feature Margate and Act As If.
