From the album 'Court The Storm' (2012) • Pay what you want http://tndr.lv/la_Bamba
Like vultures from canyons filled with bones
Horizons made from dust
We will talk about the flesh we adored
It’s a harvest season lets collect our finds on pay day
Offer your clothes from your back be good be well never turn back
Leave your pockets full, full of moonshine and skip shine all the way home
And our giants will be sleeping on our floors
Gotta be still gotta be gentle tip toe around, around that door
I got a girl by my side and a letter from the lord
Breaking me down to my knees but baby don’t leave me out here alone
Like hummingbirds exquisite and petite
Like vultures from canyons filled with bones
Horizons made from dust
We will talk about the flesh we adored
Luz Elena Mendoza’s songs draw from her strict Catholic upbringing as an only daughter of a Mexican immigrant and the vocal harmonies of the Latin music she grew up around. Neko Case, who hand-picked Y La Bamba to open for her on multiple tours, lends her vocals to the title track of the band’s sophomore album, Court the Storm, produced by Grammy-winning producer Steve Berlin (also of legendary rock outfit Los Lobos). Court the Storm is packed with delicately crafted art-folk that finds Mendoza’s ethereal vocals combining with bittersweet melodies and thrumming, Latin-inspired rhythms, resulting in one of the finest indie-pop releases in memory
