The band\u2019s first two records are comprised of one summery, washed-out jam after another. After their record label switch to Mexican Summer Records in between 2014\u2019s Worship The Sun and this year\u2019s Calico Review, the band has explored new themes with a familiar sound.<br \/>\nCalico Review is a set of 12 breezy tracks that is perfect for the transition of summer into fall. With catchy hooks and a fuzzy atmosphere, songs like \u201cSatisfied,\u201d \u201cMausoleum,\u201d and \u201cPlace In The Sun,\u201d offer a pretty great psychedelic take on standard garage rock. The almost glitchy clicks and chimes in \u201cAutumn Dawn\u201d add a nice texture and depth to the record, while the 60s-esque ballad \u201cFamous Phone Figure\u201d adds sonic variety on Calico Review. With themes of loss of love, self-confidence, and confusion, Calico Review\u2019s lyrics show growth in the songwriting of the band. While the Allah-Las are not offering anything profound or innovative in this record, they are giving listeners some catchy, sunburnt garage rock.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: The Growlers, Nick Waterhouse, Foxygen, Thee Oh Sees<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 2 (Satisfied), 7 (Autumn Dawn), 3 (Could Be You), 12 (Place In The Sun)<br \/>\nDo Not Play: Clean<br \/>\nWritten by Scott Knettle on 09\/18\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Calico Review, the Allah-Lahs add another great minor-key record to their collection after the switch to a new record label.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15892,"featured_media":49591,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[5453,5454,1727,3021,5455],"class_list":["post-49590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rock-rotation","tag-allah-las","tag-claico-review","tag-garage-rock","tag-indie-rock","tag-scott-knettle"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/allah-las-calico-review-cover.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15892"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
