Allah Las: Tell Me (What it's all about)-EP

     

     Allah Las, the L.A. based psych rock outfit, has just released a new EP, Tell Me (What it's all about).  While only a mere four songs, and less then 15 minutes long,  Tell me represents some of the most authentic sounding psych rock in the psych heavy indie scene.  Differing from many of the other reputable bands in the genre, Allah Las opts to keep their songs short and sweet,  creating a beach, rather than spacey, sound.  Tell Me uses traditional songwriting tactfulness, but combines it with the languid, stoney sound of lo-fi. Allah Las utilizes the simple chord progressions of jangly guitars to create a sound that attests to their love of early sixties rock and roll.  The high vocals and omnipresent reverb really substantiates the EP's sound.  The result a tiny gem of excellent surf rock.
