Los Angeles: It’s a crazy place! We don’t think anyone with half a mind would dispute that. From the deep East Side to the knick knack shops that line Venice Beach, the city is enveloped in a thin-but-perceptible film—a spiritual ozone layer—that has accumulated over a century plus of brutal ambition. We don’t know anything about Europa’s new album LAgoon, but we do know that it was released by Halcyon Veil, and that was enough for us to press play. What we were bombarded with: a witch house ode, maybe, to the city that Anthony Kiedis calls home. There are an absurd amount of guests on this thing, Nina favorites like Mori Mori and Emma DJ, and we like to listen to it while watching Entourage supercuts on TikTok with the sound off.
