Seattle-based surf-doo-wop group La Luz will issue a new studio album, Floating Features, via Hardly Art on May 11. The quartet also shared the video for the record’s lead single “Cicada.”

The 11-track Floating Features was recorded in Los Angeles. It follows up the band’s previous LPs, 2015’s Ty Segall-produced Weirdo Shrine and their 2013 debut It’s Alive. The group featuring lead vocalist/guitarist Shana Cleveland, drummer Marian Li Pino, keyboardist Alice Sandahl and bassist Lena Simon posted this regarding the effect of their location on their recording sessions:

Los Angeles has often been described as a “dream factory”– both a mecca where dreamers converge to pursue long-held aspirations, and a topography of hallucinogenic contradictions: enchanting tangerine sunsets diffused by smog, crystal-clutching spiritualists mingling with deep-pocketed narcissists, rows of scenic palms competing with garish billboards for commuters’ attention.
