 Press quotes:
 "So fully-formed you wouldn't think they'd [only] been playing together for 12 months."  -- NPR  "One of those rare bands with a referential sound that still manages to feel innovative and gutsy...The songs are sexy and sleepy and mournful and absolutely gorgeous. The musicianship is deliberate but elegantly raw. And the band is simply hypnotic on stage."  -- Dangerous Minds  "On the precipice of a major breakthrough...with their alluring, harmony-laden surf rock sound reaching peak levels with debut record It’s Alive, La Luz is ready to take on the world." -- MTV Hive

Artist of the Year -- Seattle Weekly "A record that feels almost dislodged in time, a uniquely haunting -- albeit occasionally unintentional -- spin on the innocent guitar-driven pop of the late '50s and early '60s, nudging the sock hop vibes of Dick Dale and the Shirelles into a darker parallel dimension." -- Paper Magazine  "Imagine all of the Shangri-La's trying, precariously, to balance on top of Link Wray's surfboard." -- Pitchfork "One of those bands that hit the ground not running, but sprinting."
-- Elle

4/5 -- BUST "A striking, blackened surf rock album with four-way doo-wop melodies and churling riffs smacking against the seawall."
-- San Francisco Bay Guardian "[It's Alive] has a vibe of effortless cool, packed with pop songs that are easy to fall in love with." -- Tuscon Weekly HI-RES ALBUM ARTWORK HERE
