Lustana (Chicago, Illinois) completely caught me off guard. First, their tag is "devotional"...not something that usually gets me to listen. But I loved the cover.
This release is a two-song 7". The first song, "See You In September" sounds like a lo-fi Lawrence Arabia song. It really is that good (the Bandcamp notes state that the song was originally performed by The Tempos in 1959...but Lustana's version is quite different). The 2nd song "Fuzz Pop No. 2" is a wonderful pop gem. If it wasn't for the lo-fi charm, I would say it reminds me of some of the finest songs from Beulah.
This is released by Haju Tapes & Records (Marin City, California). Lustana does have a few other releases on Bandcamp.
