Allah-Las, Mapache, Tim Hill

Don't Miss
A couple parts jangly, a few parts surfy, and a whole heap of psychedelic, Allah-Las evoke the sand, the waves, and the music blasting out of the cars driving down the beach fronts of Southern California. The Los Angeles–based quartet’s latest release, LAHS, expands their sound into new territory, tackling Portuguese country rock in “Prazer Em Te Conhecer” and funkier bass-driven grooves in “Star.” The result is a record that sounds just like how the California horizon looks before the sun sinks into it: pink, orange, purple. You hope that mishmash of day and night can last forever. It won’t.
