Review: Allah-Las - Tell Me (What’s on Your Mind) 7”
By Ruby Perez
The Allah-Las are Miles Michaud, Pedrum Siadatian, Spencer Dunham, and Matthew Correia. Hailing from the holy grail of fun, sun, and sand that is Los Angeles, California, the Allah-Las have done what many musicians before them have tried: write incredible songs that reflect their experiences and surroundings. Word has it on the street that these boys like to surf and love the history that LA carries. This is not too surprising, considering their sound is essentially sweet California love wrapped in a neat little package.
Their 7”, Tell Me (Whatʼs on Your Mind), has been released via Innovative Leisure. Despite generalizations, LA is incredibly large and has much more going for it besides the beach. Landscapes change by the block, and the uniqueness of the city is reflected the music of the Allah-Las. Take their track “Sacred Sands”, which is groovy and deeply reminiscent of 1960s psychedelia. The track embodies elements of surf as well, but as a whole remains drenched in mellow vibes and good times.
Listen to the title track below.
