Tiny Head Tonight at the Paradise Rock Club, we can welcome The Luyas with open arms. Their upcoming album, Too Beautiful to Work will be released on February 22 (February 21, in the UK). I’ve gotten a chance to listen to the album, its a collection of echo-drenched space-age pop songs, its futurist but retro at the same time. The Luyas had a lot of help on the album as well.
