The Luyas return with new EP Says You, share lead single ‘Engineers’
This September Montreal outfit The Luyas return with the release of five-track EP Says You, the band’s first new music in four years. Says You, which will be released on September 16th via Paper Bag Records, follows their 2012 third album Animator.
“Each of the EP’s five songs is a little world of its own characters, particular sense of humour, rules of physics, blue skies and acid rain”, describes the press release. “Like sitting down at a table with a friend, Says You bounces from the banal, to the absurd. It cuts a joke, it empties its wallet, it promises to get the tip next time, and when you smile, it smiles back.”
To get us excited, The Luyas have shared the marvellous EP opener ‘Engineers’. Take a listen now.
The Luyas unleash new video for opening track off Animator
The Luyas, the outfit of Montreal natives Pietro Amato, Mathieu Charbonneau, Bucky Wheaton, Sarah Neufeld and Jessie Stein, dropped their third album, Animator, last month via Dead Oceans and Paper Bag Records.
Animator was conceived right after a close friend’s sudden death and “is supposed to be some weird resuscitation.” as singer and multi-instrumentalist Jessie Stein explained. “The animator’s job is to create the semblance of movement in things that cannot move themselves. The musician’s is to make us feel like something is happening with a sound”.
The quintet are currently touring Animator across North America and will reach European shores later in the month. You can check all their stops here.
The Luyas have unveiled a mesmerising video to accompany the outstanding epic 9-minute opener ‘Montuno’. Mylene Simard directed it and you can watch it below. Straight after listen to the first single off Animator, ‘Fifty, Fifty’.
