New Allah-Las "Buffalo Nickel"

While perhaps not as instantly remarkable as "Tell Me What's On Your Mind" one of our favorite new acts in the past few years have returned with their new track "Buffalo Nickel" which still an excellent listen. Sophomore LP "Worship The Sun" is out September 16th on Innovative Leisure.

Welcome Back: New Haim and Allah Las

Allah Las - "Busman Holiday"

Allah-Lahs "Tell Me What's On Your Mind"

We came upon this band a few weeks back and have been loving their self-titled debut (Sept 18th). "Busman Holiday" is more Black Lips-esque indie-psych than their previous vintage 60s Stones-fuled effort "Tell Me (What's On Your Mind)" -- both equally compelling in their own ways.

Allah-Las: "Don't You Forget It"

Allah-Las: "Don't You Forget"

Allah-Las: "Tell Me What's On Your Mind"

Impeccably capturing a late 60s garage/surf ethos and channeling the sound through a "Play With Fire" era Rolling Stones filter, California's Allah-Las, have crafted several head turning new tracks, "Don't You Forget It" and "Tell Me What's On Your Mind." The full length (9/18 on Innovative Leisure) was produced by vintage perfectionist Nick Waterhouse (excellent in his own right). This is lo fi reverb done the right way. Critics may file this on the softer side of the Black Lips/King Khan, and lesser minds may even compare them to the lazy stylings of a Real Estate. Don't be fooled though, there's a lot more here than delay pedals and reverb knobs. VIA
