Weirdo Shrine is a studio album by American surf rock band La Luz. It was released on August 7, 2015.Ratliff, Ben (August 7, 2015) "New Releases From La Luz, Chelsea Wolfe and Ossia," The New York Times. Retrieved on February 14, 2018.
In early 2015, La Luz adjourned to a surf shop in San Dimas, California where, with the help of producer-engineer Ty Segall, they realized the vision of capturing the band's restless live energy and committing it to tape. Weirdo Shrine finds them at their most saturated and cinematic—the sound of La Luz is (appropriately) vibrant, and alive with a kaleidoscopic passion .
Composition Weirdo Shrine digs into "classic-sounding" surf rock, yielding a "dark spin" on the genre. Doo-wop and "top-notch" rock and roll are also present.
The album's production is lo-fi and "fuzz-heavy".
