Luniere returns with vibrant sophomore record, plays release party at Blue 06.16

Portland, Maine’s Luniere is releasing its sophomore album Leave The Light just in time for the vibrant New England summer. The band’s blend of pop, rock, and folk is gorgeously displayed once again in this second entry to the group’s discography. "Always" (streaming) for instance has a lax drum beat that accompanies exquisitely-timed electric guitar embellishments, a sweet hook, and a haunting chorus to finish off. The group graces pop, country, rock, and folk, it caresses these genres to produce tracks perfect for those easy-going summer evenings by the fire with friends, or for reflective times of solitude. The trio will be celebrating the release of their EP with a show in their hometown at Blue on June 16th, singer-songwriter Molly Ladd will be providing support. – Rene Cobar
