Cor de Lux<\/strong>, the North Carolina quartet featuring Dawn Moraga (guitar\/vocals), Tim Lusk (guitar\/vocals), John Bliven (bass), and Jacob Richardson (drums), have signed with Ipecac Recordings<\/strong>. The band will release their debut album for the label this autumn, with more details to be announced soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn all parts of the world you can find hidden musical gems – you just need to keep your eyes
and ears open,\u201d<\/em> Greg Werckman, Ipecac co-founder shares. \u201cRecently, we were introduced to
one of those gems\u2026 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was at the coffee shop where I work when I read the email from Ipecac on my phone and
shouted, \u2018WHAT?!… Oh my God\u2026 oh shit!\u2019\u201d<\/em> recalls Moraga. \u201cI 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\u2019s coffee). I texted the guys: \u2018It\u2019s time to open that bottle of wine a friend gave us at our
first show, with the inscription: Don\u2019t open until you land a label deal.\u2019 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.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cor de Lux\u2019s most recent single, \u201cLong Face People,\u201d offers a preview of what\u2019s to come.
Northern Transmissions described the track as \u201ca mixture of post-punk, goth-tinged pop, and
shoegaze,\u201d<\/em> while Post-Trash noted that the band \u201cdraw from the art rock and post-punk world,
adopting elements of shoegaze tonality to create music that\u2019s bent yet decisively direct.\u201d <\/em>Meanwhile Sun-13 remarked,  “Cor de Lux also manage to capture a nostalgic feeling. Their sound, like thick curls of smoke that filled those small rock clubs we all inhabited before they were demolished and replaced by Starbucks and the like.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1999, Ipecac Recordings has built a reputation as one of the most artist-driven
labels in independent music. Recent additions to the roster include the Jesus Lizard, mclusky,
