Floating features

"Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys produced the sessions for Floating Features, and while his touch is unobtrusive, he does get a more polished and full-bodied sound out of La Luz. Cleveland's guitar cuts deeper on these performances, Marian Li-Pino's drums have more depth, and there's a sense of detail that flatters the performances. If you liked La Luz before, there's nothing on Floating Features that's likely to change that, but their craft has gotten stronger and the improved audio helps to make that clear. This album is smart fun from a band that actually makes something fresh out of the sounds of the past ...".

"Listening to surf-noir group La Luz, one might assume the all-female foursome were born and bred in California, given their ability to sonically capture the fun and feeling associated with the place. However, the band had just made the move to Los Angeles from Seattle, and it proved to be a real mood enhancer and motivator behind their third full-length ... They recognize the power of harmony (especially when it comes to the female voice) and melody, and doing it like they used to (à la the Shangri-Las, the Ventures, Takeshi Terauchi) but remaining sleek, not stale. Whereas past albums might not have fully captured the energy and pure joy that the band deliver on stage, Floating Features just about makes it so. This is by far the band's best offering to date".
