LASKA is fronted by three sisters who write beautifully self-aware and earnest songs. Hannah, Mookie, and Bex Morton are the foundation of LASKA. The melancholy, harmony-driven sound draws from the midwestern heartland just as much as the LA-coast and continues to evolve as their landscape changes. All three sisters contribute to the writing and have a way of leaving you at the beck and call of a song’s emotional territory. Haunting, reflective, and lovely. LASKA has been playing together in different varieties since 2016 (and in some ways for their whole life) and their live sound blends rugged guitar, synthesizers, and pedal affected violins, bringing listeners from song-in-your-bedroom intimacy to vast moments in sonic canyons. The Mortons play alongside Evan Middlesworth (producer/guitar). Their newest EP, entitled “Fader,” is a fresh sound for LASKA. A lofi-drum-machine escapes to summer crickets and AM radio nylon-string guitar. The low-energy, yet pop oriented productions feels like a vessel for the words to be heard. “Fader” comes after the beginning of the bands’ recent transition to Los Angeles.
