Butler, an album title from a collection of metaphysical poetry, and an expansion in consciousness brought on by personal crisis, News of the Universe finds guitarist and songwriter Cleveland embracing a changing world with unconditional love.\u00a0 News of the Universe is also a record born of calamity, a work of dark, beautiful psychedelia reflecting Cleveland\u2019s experience of having her world blown apart by a breast cancer diagnosis just two years after the birth of her son.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formed by Cleveland in 2012, La Luz is beloved for their ability to balance bedlam and bliss, each new record another fine-tuning of the band\u2019s mix of swaggering riffs with angelic vocals borrowed from doo-wop and folk; a band so reliably great that it makes the huge step forward in confidence and sheer musicality that is News of the Universe all the more formidable. Cleveland, also a writer and painter, has developed into a truly original songwriter with her own canon of haunted psychedelia that, in recent years, has drawn upon the changing landscape around her rural California home for inspiration, notably on last year\u2019s critically acclaimed solo release, Manzanita, a magical realist documentation of her pregnancy and early motherhood that appeared on many year-end lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sonically, the record is all urgency. Songs trip over themselves as if trying to outrun the apocalypse. The powerful sense of openness that permeates \u2018News of the Universe\u2019 is at least partially due to the fact that it is a record made entirely by women\u2014from the performing, writing, and producing all the way through to the recording, engineering, and mastering. \u201c<em>There is something inherently and simultaneously sweet and brutal about womanhood,\u201d<\/em> says Cleveland. \u201c<em>That is something I hear on this record.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with producer Maryam Qudus (Spacemoth), the all-female environment allowed Cleveland to feel safe tapping into difficult places and expressing hard emotions women are socialised to suppress. Unashamedly vulnerable, unabashedly feminine, and undeniably triumphant, News of the Universe is another knockout record from a band so reliably great that it has perhaps led people to overlook how pioneering La Luz really are: women of color in indie music forging their own path by following their own artistic star into galaxies beyond current musical trends, always led by an earnest belief in the cosmic power of love and a great riff. Never is that more true than on News of the Universe, which might be La Luz\u2019s most brutal record to date but also their most blissful. After everything, how could it not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/8049BF03-43CA-406D-AF97-D9D1C4EDC7DF.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/8049BF03-43CA-406D-AF97-D9D1C4EDC7DF.jpeg?resize=900%2C900\" alt=\"La Luz News Of The Universe cover artwork\" class=\"wp-image-40566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/8049BF03-43CA-406D-AF97-D9D1C4EDC7DF.jpeg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/8049BF03-43CA-406D-AF97-D9D1C4EDC7DF.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/8049BF03-43CA-406D-AF97-D9D1C4EDC7DF.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/8049BF03-43CA-406D-AF97-D9D1C4EDC7DF.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018<strong>News of the Universe\u2019 track list<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
