About
“I was in a dream, but now I can see that change is the only law.” With a credo adapted from sci-fi author Octavia E. Butler, an album title from a collection of metaphysical poetry, and an expansion in consciousness brought on by personal crisi, guitarist/songwriter Shana Cleveland learns to embrace a changing world with unconditional love on 'News of the Universe', the new album from La Luz. A record born of calamity, a work of dark, beautiful psychedelia reflecting Cleveland’s experience of having her world blown apart by a breast cancer diagnosis just 2 years after the birth of her son. It’s also a portrait of a band in flux, marking the first appearance for drummer Audrey Johnson and the final ones from longtime bassist Lena Simon and keyboardist Alice Sandahl, whose contributions add a bittersweet edge to a record that is both elegy for an old world and cosmic road map to a strange new one. .
