Episode 227: Cor de Lux

Episode 227 of Look At My Records! features an interview with Dawn Moraga and Tim Lusk of North Carolina post-punk band Cor de Lux. Recently, the band shared their second full-length, Media, a towering, eclectic-sounding record that melds elements of shoegaze, multiple eras of punk rock, dream pop, and more, while tackling themes and feelings of uncertainty, division, and human connection. During the interview, Tom spoke with Dawn and Tim about the process behind writing and recording the album, early musical inspirations, Tim’s surprising familial connection to a country music legend, and much more. Dawn and Tim also picked some awesome records from Tom’s collection, including choice cuts from the Minutemen, Blonde Redhead, Corridor, and the Appleseed Cast. You can follow along with their picks via the official playlist for Episode 227. You can purchase Media on cassette and compact disc via Bandcamp. The album is also available to stream on all platforms. Keep up with the band by following them on Instagram. Cor de Lux is on tour this month. They’ll be performing in Jersey City on Friday, May 5th alongside Tom Barrett and the Cuts, CR and the Nones, and Sean Kiely.
