Celica rocks, dances, moves, and grooves at the hottest concert events in town - for the fifth year in a row! For our fifth birthday, we’ll be hosting an unforgettable concert party in July and August 2026, featuring a top lineup of local and international bands!

This week, our party continues with the dreamy shoegaze tunes of Luje and lars from norway.

When night falls, flickering street lights illuminate the concrete behemoths and the deserted streets are hardly welcoming. And while the night often plays host to our moods, there's a deep, unadulterated beauty to be found in the darkness. It is precisely this beauty that emanates from Luje's album “Among The Firs”. Recorded in a refuge in the middle of a pine forest, the Lyonnais‘ second album shows a willingness to delve into intimate subjects such as the loss of others (“Don't go”, “Yeah”, “Free Spirit”), as well as expressing themselves on common concerns such as politics (“89”, “All The Same”) and eco-anxiety (“Nobody Speaks”, “Too Cold”).

In this second, more liberated album, entirely self-produced by the group and to be released by Howlin' Banana and Confiture Distribution, Luje gently detaches itself from the electro-pop melodies that populated their previous efforts to explore steeper, more saturated terrain, consolidating its shoegaze foundations. This is an uppercut album where impetuous percussion, retro-futuristic synthesiser synths, ethereal vocal lines and sometimes incisive, sometimes enveloping guitar notes. A refuge album, reassuring and decadent, the perfect alternative for cutting yourself off from the world and letting your emotions do the rest.

lars from norway is a three piece band from Ljubljana, formed in december 2024, blending shoegaze, post-hardcore and emo influences, driven by a reverbed noisy sound.
