You may remember way back in our infancy we here at LoudLoopPress.com championed a show by Chicago’s own La Scala. Ah, November. We were so young then but not naive. La Scala had been a bit on and off at that point, and unfortunately went a little off again afterward, but with good reason.

That reason? To record. So fear not Chicago, as La Scala are definitely “on” these days and their debut full length The Last Carousel is about to hit the streets running.

Full of gypsy indie rock meets 60′s Continental pop, The Last Carousel should cement La Scala’s place back in the upper echelons of our city’s musical landscape. There’s no firm release date (although there’s hope for a July 27th iTunes release) but you sure as shit can pick up a copy at their release party at The Empty Bottle on Friday, July 30. Hopefully this is the re-launch of a beautiful friendship.

You can listen to the album’s first three tracks, and even download the song “The Bachelorette’s Needs”, right now at Lascala.bandcamp.com.

In the meantime, here’s the complete track Listing:

1. Enter
2. Two Pistols in a Walnut Case
3. The Bachelorette’s Needs
4. My Checkered Past
