LA Priest looks upward and keeps the psych-pop machine moving on Into The Sky

LA Priest’s Into The Sky is short, strange and exactly the sort of compact left-field pop object that suits Sam Dust’s universe. Released on 1 June through Domino, the track is tagged around alternative, indie rock and psych, but the interesting part is how LA Priest has always made those labels feel slightly unstable. His music often sounds like pop built with the wrong tools in the best possible way: grooves that bend, synths that wink, guitars that refuse to behave entirely like guitars. Into The Sky continues that tradition by aiming upward without turning into obvious festival uplift. It feels more like a small portal than a grand announcement. For indie listeners who enjoy psychedelic pop when it is playful, clever and a little chemically lit around the edges, this is a neat release to catch before it gets buried under the week’s bigger names.
