Consisting of guitarist and vocalist Dawn Moraga, guitarist Tim Lusk, bassist John Bliven, and drummer Jacob Richardson, Cor de Lux first came together in 2018 and went on to release their first album, Dream Life, just two years later. Following their most recent single, "Long Face People", released last February, the band are set to make their Ipecac debut with a new record due this autumn.
Discussing the news of their signing, Moraga shares: “I was at the coffee shop where I work when I read the email from Ipecac on my phone and shouted, ‘WHAT?!... Oh my God… oh shit! I 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’s coffee). I texted the guys: ‘It’s time to open that bottle of wine a friend gave us at our first show, with the inscription: Don’t open until you land a label deal.’ 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.”
Ipecac co-founder Greg Werckman adds: “Recently, we were introduced to one of those gems… 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.”
