To celebrate their hugely successful Record Release Tour of the East Coast and Canada in support of their heralded debut lp 'NEW HOME,' Brooklyn's LA STRADA are premiering the first video for standout track "WASH ON BY." Directed by award-winning filmmaker Mark Becker, we find the six exhuberant young gents in a David Lynch-ian world of a long-forgotten resort haunted by a shovel carrying lady and an empty drive-in where an on-screen femme fatale is seen and then flickers out leaving everyone wondering whether her influence was real or imagined. La Strada shot the video in 8 different locations, all an hour or two north of New York City, over the course of two days – with a bare-bones crew of 6.
Be sure to take note of La Strada's upcoming shows and visit Ernest Jenning Record Co for more on the best band in Brooklyn!

"It's a polished run of sentiment that sounds as if it's over the moon, sweeping milk-ily across the roaming heavens with heaves and hums of sparkling trails of kisses." - Daytrotter.com
“You've just got to listen to the infectious "Wash on By," the textured with sunlight (and horns) "My New Home," the kaleidoscopic "Starling" and the could-have-been-on-the-"Juno"-soundtrack "Loved You All Along."” - Portland Press Herald
“Imagine Jeff Mangum leading a bombastic version of the Bowerbirds or Andrew Bird fronting The Arcade Fire and you'll land in the neighborhood of La Strada. Whether framing autumnal tales with woozy accordion and delicate string swoops or using violin and cello to push spirited rock songs until they explode into gang vocals” - Indy Week
