Featured Tune: "Far Out" from LACOSA
reviews
Between Echoes and Horizons – LACOSA’s Sonic Escape
There’s something quietly rebellious about Far Out—LACOSA’s latest offering that feels less like a song and more like a beautifully disoriented moment in time. It’s not trying to be loud. It’s not asking for attention. Instead, it invites you to get lost with it.
Released on July 2, 2024, Far Out lands like a secret postcard from a faraway place—a fleeting, dream-washed space the band stumbled upon during their evolving journey. While their previous works had a more grounded energy, this one floats. The guitars shimmer like heatwaves off desert sand, layered with delay and reverb that blur the lines between genres. At times, the track flirts with British shoegaze, then suddenly veers into something darker, more disciplined—almost militaristic in its drum patterns.
The vocals don’t follow the usual melodic path either. They rise and fall with a spoken intensity, bending through the soundscape like someone narrating a half-remembered dream. There’s an Eastern undercurrent flowing beneath the surface too, subtle but unmistakable—like incense smoke weaving through an industrial skyline.
Far Out isn’t here to provide answers. It’s a sonic detour—an intentional pause in the journey that makes you appreciate the wandering. LACOSA has managed to bottle up a rare feeling: the thrill of the unknown. This track lingers long after it ends, like the echo of a place you’re not sure was real.
