Lyrics from Down Right

Carlos Hernandez is the son of a '70s New York soul DJ. After a detour playing in punk and noise projects (and producing for bands like Fucked Up), he returned to his soul roots and formed Ava Luna, a band of two girls and four guys, to explore a sound that combines all those ideas. Recently having released their debut LP Ice Level, which was praised by Spin as "a beaming mix of ice-cool vintage '80s no wave grooves and extra-lush three-part girl group harmonies", and by Pitchfork as "glorious", they are frequently compared to fellow sound mavericks TVOTR and Dirty Projectors, as fronted by Prince and backed by Destiny's Child.
