Allah-Las’ second album Worship The Sun expands on the sound established by their maiden effort honing their fusion of West Coast garage rock and roll Latin percussion and electric folk. As richly textured and timeless as a Southern California beach break the songs are evocative of Los Angeles’ storied past. Beatniks artists surfers nomads. Remnants of a bygone Sunset Strip. Golden tans and cosmic sunsets. One can feel the warmth of the sun but the band deftly avoids the kitsch so often indulged by lovers of these things. Hints of Byrds Love Felt and those who follow are threaded into the tapestry.

LA’s seminal Ferus Gallery – the home of Wallace Berman Ed Kienholz Ed Ruscha Billy Al Bengston – is paid homage in an eponymous instrumental broadening the scope beyond mere sea surf and sand. The lyrics reveal a new maturity; reflections of a band that has grown together through experiences on the road and in the studio. Worship The Sun is at once the perfect soundtrack for the greatest surf film never made and for a golden hour drive through Topanga Canyon. Yet while grounded in the Southern California experience the appeal of the album is not limited by locale. It is a teenage symphony to the sun for all those who know its grace.
