Holy Rollers

I love it when some people have so much music inside them, they have to form multiple bands. Shana Cleveland as the lead singer to La Luz, needed to air out some folk-type songs (I guess), so she formed this ensemble of the Sandcastles as a vehicle for that. I don't necessarily like folk music, but this has an underlying, slow-burning intensity that is very appealing. Reminds me of the stuff that Andrew Kenny (American Analog Set) is doing with the Wooden Birds.

Here's a live (in studio at KEXP) version of the song that is also worthy of watching. A little more electric, showing her talent as a guitarist and the excellent sound quality right in her backyard in Seattle, WA (I think that's where she is from).
