Allah Las announce new album LAHS, share “In the Air”: Stream
Psychedelic garage rock act Allah Las are back. The band has announced a new album, LAHS, set for release on October 11th via Mexican Summer. The news comes along with the effort’s lead single, “In the Air”, and an accompanying music video.
“In the Air” picks up where the band left of with 2016’s Calico. It begins with warm guitar that twinkles around, occasionally delving into surf rock-like riffs. Over it all are hazy vocals that bring to mind Parquet Courts and Quilt. It’s a lovely introduction to the new album, and one that comes just in time for summer’s intense heat wave.
In the song’s Sam Kristofski-directed music video, the band goofs around with pal and general oddball Kirin J Callinan. The band can be seen hanging around the pool, blowing bubbles and playing air guitar. From a distance, one of them is shot by a blow dart, falls into the pool, and has to be saved by his bandmates. We’ll leave the rest for you to witness yourself, but it’s equal parts scenic and Weekend at Bernie’s-comedic — a fitting compliment to the band’s sound, come to think of it.
Check out the music video for “In the Air” below.
LAHS clocks in with 13 songs total. Preorders are available now. Find the album artwork and tracklist below.
