Weirdo Shrine is a studio album by surf rock band La Luz.^[1] It was released on August 7, 2015.^[2]

In early 2015, La Luz adjourned to a surf shop in San Dimas, California where, with the help of producer-engineer Ty Segall, they realized the vision of capturing the band’s restless live energy and committing it to tape. Weirdo Shrine finds them at their most saturated and cinematic -- the sound of La Luz is (appropriately) vibrant, and alive with a kaleidoscopic passion https://laluz.bandcamp.com/album/weirdo-shrine .

Composition

Weirdo Shrine digs into "classic-sounding" surf rock, yielding a "dark spin" on the genre. Doo-wop and "top-notch" rock and roll are also present.
