LUFF

Luff is a band from Brooklyn, NY, known for creating lush soundscapes in their live shows, and for successfully capturing their layered sound on their first full-length CD, Blanket Ice. Founded by songwriter Sheila Sobolewski (guitar, loops, samples, and vocals) and influenced by bands such as Mogwai, Yo La Tengo and My Bloody Valentine, Luff has evolved from a guitar and cello two-piece to its full post-rock incarnation. Robin Pickering (Triple Creme) lends her rock sensibility to the multi-layered guitar sound, Jonah Eller-Isaacs provides solid and playful bass riffs, and Dan Spagna (former Dew Claw, Building 6) is precise and engaging on the drums. Sheila’s sparse and minimal vocals convey a wealth of meaning with few words, and Luff’s music has a soundtrack quality that both soothes and captures the attention. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------"The new self released CD, Blanket Ice, is outstanding... we were won over quickly. Sheila's warm vocals complete this sound and are easily the reason we are highly recomending the brand new release...If you would like to pick up a copy of the new 10 song album (and you do because my eyes are bright red and shooting lasers at you) stop by CD Baby. Can you tell we like this band a bunch?" —Milk Milk Lemonade http:milkmilk-lemonade.blogspot.com------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------“Lu ff's first full-length effort, Blanket Ice, has been released under the radar; my first perceptions of the album? I wish more blogs, forums and internet types were talking about it, simply because it’s a release that does deserve to be talked about, a lot. Sculpting sounds that resemble Mogwai and Sonic Youth overdosing on diazepam but refusing to create an ambient record, Luff raise the tempo by adding a secret mix of musical-amphetamines...Luff are a welcome reminder of how good music can be...” —Holly Joy Emblem http://thesilentballet.com---------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---"It was a fantastic day at Church of Girl when we received Luff's debut full-length release, Blanket Ice. The album is moody, beautiful and angsty... [Luff has] created an amazing album that feels like a deeply important conversation represented through layers of sound and perfectly executed moments of sparseness." -Mary Ann Naylor www.churchofgirl.com---------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ “The dreamy, epic sound of Luff may readily invite comparisons to noise rockers and shoe gazers like Mogwai, My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth, but this up and coming band remains uniquely captivating.” —Julie Bolcer Logo’s New Now Next ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------((((-NEW CD "BLANKET ICE" AVAILABLE NOW!-))))--------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -------USA ORDERS-- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------INTERNATIONAL ORDERS--
