After years of writing and performing, Ava Luna has refined their doo-wop soul meets punk-as-fuck aesthetic into something bold and glaringly defiant in today's indie music landscape. Following the release of their critically lauded first proper full-length Ice Level, the band spent an intense 2-week period writing and recording in upstate New York. Unlike previous efforts that were meticulously mapped out, the songs that would become Electric Balloon were "…a family effort." according to frontman Carlos Hernandez. For the new album, former Columbia composition student Hernandez relinquished the reins a bit, opting for a more organic approach to writing the material for what would become Electric Balloon. As Hernandez explains, it was a "…birth of confidence. I grew closer to my bandmates, began to see the roles of a family playing out. Ethan cooks dinner for all of us, we make lewd jokes, and then 'after-dinner storytelling' takes the form of playing music."

In the wake of Ice Level, Ava Luna's sharp edges have melted away just enough, making it easier to connect with their no-wave grooves and soaring harmonies. Distilling everything from James Chance and ESG to contemporaries like Dirty Projectors and Of Montreal, Ava Luna have landed on an aggressively unique sound that still manages to be accessible. Hernandez goes on to explain "…the stories and moments here are clearer, as in a conversation. The moment appears, you grab it with your hands, screw the lid on the mason jar. There was no tweaking, no second-guessing. Julian's mantra for the process: 'First thought best thought.'….And for my part, I sing my best about encounters, friendships, some moments beautiful and others painful. A bike shop manager in New Orleans, a derelict porch on Brighton Beach, a yellow sweater in a kitchen in the Catskills, a water duct in the New Mexico desert…"

Lyrics:

I lost my callouses for you, and you didn’t even think to ask me how my day was, now I’m leaving.
I couldn’t even count the number of times that I let you in and I made myself small, even though I smiled throughout it all.

When I look back, I can see myself slipping down.

Heaven knows, heaven knows I tried. Heaven knows I tried tonight.

I know it’s not your fault you were born with a spoon in your throat, and a gun in your hand, and a plan for yourself. I’m not grieving.
It’s just a matter of time and a matter of worth, and you’ve known since birth what you like, and I’m happy for you until my face is blue.

When I look back, I can see myself so clear. When I look back, I can see myself slipping down.

Tonight will be the night (heaven knows).
Tonight will be the night (heaven knows I tried).
Tonight will be the night (heaven knows I tried tonight).
