Swell Album: Ava Luna - Ice Level [soul / experimental pop / R&B]


I just happened across a truly unique band called Ava Luna, but I did so a bit late. Their debut LP Ice Level was released in February of 2012 and they have toured with Toro y Moi and Twin Sister. Why this experimental pop band hasn't garnered much attention since then puzzles me. The Brooklynites craft a sound akin to that of Dirty Projectors and TV on the Radio but they can't be summed up that easily. What has been described as "nervous soul", their style is very rich in female vocal harmonies, broken drum patterns, minimalistic post-punk and at times orchestral instrumentals, and led by a great "soulified" male voice.

Below you can listen to 2 singles, along with one of my favorites, from their 2012 album Ice Level. You can stream and buy the entire album here.
