Luxury is an American indie rock band from Toccoa, Georgia, whose career is defined by a unique blend of post-punk aesthetics and deep existential inquiry. Emerging in the mid-90s on Tooth & Nail Records, they stood apart from their contemporaries through Lee Bozeman's baritone croon and the band's sophisticated, angular guitar work.
Their trajectory was famously altered by a catastrophic van accident in 1995, an event that deepened the gravity of their lyrical themes. Over decades, their sound evolved from the raw, high-energy post-hardcore of 'Amazing and Thank You' to the more refined, art-rock sensibilities of their later work. A significant cultural footnote is that three members of the band eventually became Orthodox Christian priests, a transition documented in the film 'Parallel Love.' This spiritual path informs their music not through proselytization, but through a rigorous, often dark exploration of beauty, suffering, and transcendence. Critically, they are regarded as a 'band's band,' admired for their technical proficiency and their refusal to adhere to the commercial tropes of either the indie or religious music markets.
