Allah-Las have announced their new album Zuma 85, to be released on October 13 via their own Calico Discos label imprint and Innovative Leisure (pre-order). Zuma 85 comes with production by Jeremy Harris and the band, and was mixed by frequent collaborator and Woods co-founder Jarvis Taveniere.
The band have shared a double lead single: “The Stuff” is a glam-rock-inspired romp ode to rock tropes and nostalgic sentiments in the music world, including “stereotypes of musicians and various trends in music,” while the title track is a dynamic and subtle instrumental packed with layered guitars and chiming percussion. Listen to both and check out the LP artwork and tracklist below.
The band have also announced a US tour following their sprawling UK/EU run over the summer and into September. Allah-Las stop in NYC for a show on August 4 at The Rockaway Hotel. All dates below.
