Cor de Lux

Short blurb:
Four really boring people from the Outer Banks of North Carolina who found each other.
Longer blurb:
COR DE LUX grew out of the music scene of North Carolina’s Outer Banks. The band found each
other during a chance conversation about the love of music between Tim Lusk and Dawn Moraga
while Moraga waited for a phone repair in Lusk’s shop. This was the catalyst for the band’s
formation, with John Bliven quickly added on bass and Jacob Richardson stepping in for founding
member and drummer Dana Quinn in early 2022. Their music (a mixture of post-punk,
shoegaze,garage rock and early 2000’s influences) has been compared to bands such as Sonic
Youth, Slant 6, Galaxie 500, and early The Breeders.
The past year has seen COR DE LUX steadily tour the eastern US coast, fitting DIY and club shows
in-between opening slots for Archers of Loaf, LA Witch, Pile, Teenage Fanclub, COLA (Ex-Ought),
The Bobby Lees, Hammered Hulls (Dischord), Wishy, Ducks Ltd, Sweeping Promises, Spiral
Stairs,Perl Dream Magazine, and Pylon Reenactment Society.
“The post-punk dream-pop band weaves a sonic tapestry of sound and emotion; the
atmospheric hooks and Dawn’s effervescent vocals echo Sonic Youth, The Breeders,
Fugazi, and the Pixies.”
- Alice Teeple
“Cor de Lux a really good band” - Henry Rollin
