Floating Features is the third album by the eternally touring Los Angeles surf psych quartet La Luz, one of the best live bands around these days. Produced by Dan Auerbach, Floating Features delivers a hypnotic chill-intoxicating trip soaked in pure timeless California psychedelia. This is La Luz’s most melodic and inspired record to date. Their exquisite trademarks - haunting melodies, great vocal and chorus exchanges, and impressive instrumentation – make this their more outstanding set of songs to date. Instant classic. One of the best of 2018.

RIYL: The Shangri-Las, Peach Kelli Pop, Summer Twins, The 5.6.7.8's and Shannon & The Clams.
