INTRODUCING COR DE LUX

We’re excited to welcome Cor de Lux to the Ipecac family! The North Carolina quartet featuring Dawn Moraga (guitar/vocals), Tim Lusk (guitar/vocals), John Bliven (bass), and Jacob Richardson (drums), will release their new album this fall, with more details to be announced soon.

“In all parts of the world you can find hidden musical gems - you just need to keep your eyes and ears open. Recently, we were introduced to one of those gems… Cor de Lux, hailing from Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. They deserve a LOT more attention, and with this new record we think they will get it. VERY happy to welcome them to the Ipecac family.” - Greg Werckman

“I was at the coffee shop where I work when I read the email from Ipecac on my phone and shouted, ‘WHAT?!... Oh my God… oh shit!’” recalls Moraga. “I jumped up and down, causing an older gentleman to spill coffee on his slacks that have never seen the pit of a Jesus Lizard show. Unapologetically, I kept happily yelling while texting the guys in the band the news. (I did buy the man’s coffee). I texted the guys: ‘It’s time to open that bottle of wine a friend gave us at our first show, with the inscription: Don’t open until you land a label deal.’ We waited to pursue help from a label, and it feels perfect that we ended up with some legendary musicians we truly look up to. We feel so humbled.”

Check out the band’s most recent single, “Long Face People,” which offers a preview of what’s to come. Northern Transmissions described the track as “a mixture of post-punk, goth-tinged pop, and shoegaze,” while Post-Trash noted that the band “draw from the art rock and post-punk world, adopting elements of shoegaze tonality to create music that’s bent yet decisively direct.”

Follow the band and stay tuned for more!

Richmond we are happy to say we are back for this one with @weirdnightmare in June @richmondmusichall ! We will be celebrating our first single release with @ipecacrecordings that day so all the reason to come hang! See you there!

We are more than anxious to show you 3 videos that are coming out with our new album. We really love the Art involvement that comes with an album… as a whole it’s the ability to get a community of people to help your music come to life. We honestly tear up often when we see the work of those creating for our songs. This song was on our last album. The song is Rumors and the amazing video and animations are by @matt__smithson. Enjoy while we all wait for what’s to come.

We are back home and taking the month of May off to get ready for the album. We are very thankful for the people that housed us, fed us, listened to us, and showed support. Was skeptical on cost with the rising gas prices on this run , but so many supported through Merch that it helped out greatly. It never fails to amaze me the way Artists show up for each other or fans supporting Art. Our next shows are 6/13 @kingsraleigh for @longreliefnc album release! And 6/24 @richmondmusichall with @weirdnightmare . Can’t wait to see you on a month.

Thank you @reallyreallycooldrumvids @gorintoproductions @wtjuradio @loopyfest @griffin_strummerand Andrea in RVA.
