Spread the Social Love:
The Luyas are pleased to announce the release of their forthcoming record, Animator, out October 16th on Dead Oceans.
Recorded in their hometown of Montreal and created in the midst and reflection of a close friend's sudden death, Animator flows through its own catharsis with a profound depth and richness.
The band's first single, 'Fifty Fifty,' is available now after premiering on Pitchfork. It fluctuates between a shadowy edge and a hopeful brightness, as multi-instrumentalist and lead singer Jessie Stein laments, "dreams die, dreams die," culminating in a soaring, distant, vaguely heavenly chorus.
