La Laque (Indie Rock Tracks)

La Laque is a band that began in Brooklyn, New York, in the fall of 2003. The band creates a beautifully arranged wall of sound with tons of reverb and whispery, sexy French female vocals. Musical elements include screaming surf guitar, garage-style drums, sinewy bass, strings and organ to form a completely unique and beautiful texture that is different from other New York bands. In moments, the band can jump from raucous 60's garage to classy torch music to lush, dreamy indie rock. The melodies are catchy and addictive and the music is equal parts joyous and heartbreaking.
