Reviews
“The Kansas City band combines shimmering parts to create disjunctive but ever-progressing songs. Part math rock, part shoegaze, part jazz riffing, Via Luna has all the epic-ness of bands like Explosions in the Sky or Sigur Ros and all the jittering movement of Maps & Atlases or Dirty Projectors. The ability to shift between cool, jazz-inspired meanderings to bright legatos gives the band a few different textures with which they build their songs.” – Brian Clifton, Mills Record Company
"The staccato-style major-chord heavy melodies that Via Luna enjoy concocting are the same type of melodies executed by bands like Ghost and Vodka, Enemies, and the bounty of active Japanese math rock bands. Like their predecessors and contemporaries, Via Luna’s melodies build a pleasant and inviting experience that is free of convoluted virtuosity. The melodies are free to ring out, reverberate and roll atop one another, rather than get thrust into dissonant entanglements as other math rock bands are wont to do (but are nonetheless adept at doing). It’s complex, but not too complex to be bewildering. The end result is a gentle and idyllic journey." - Nick Hunter, Founder/Editor feckingbahamas.com
