Loma.

I love Loma.

Loma is one of the few current musical projects that slaps me firmly back into my teenage music-obsessive phase. I must have listened to Ocotillo 15 times in a row when first I encountered it; I believe the song is perfection.

Was almost scared to listen to the new song (how it starts) because either bitter disappointment, or distracting obsession.

Distracting obsession. It’s like hearing an intimate performance in the dining room, with the a door occasionally opening onto a colossal kitchen sink arrangement. I love it so much.

Yep Ocotillo is an outstanding song. Really nails that late Talk Talk sound.

Quite enjoy Loma and have the last album that I must dig out again. Look forward to hearing the new album in June.

No love on here for Shearwater? Really enjoy Jonathan Meiburg’s moody tones and he has the ability to bring out ‘the big voice’ when required. Didn’t get the last album though as it sounded a bit one paced and dull - again must dig it out…

Shearwater is great too, deffo. Some incredible writing going on with that stuff. Need to spend more time with Shearwater.

Okkervil River and Shearwater seem to have a weird thing where they release a good album and then a crap one.

Yup, Loma amazing, and Cross Record too (ok, wasn’t a huge fan of her last one but the first two were cracking):

Same. Third one just didn’t land with me at all for some reason. But those first two are stunning. The Depths is bloody wonderful, particularly.

Love Loma. Really hoping we’ll get some live UK dates this year. My most anticipated album of the year at the moment, the last two were ridiculously good.

Sometimes get Loma and Weather Station confused. The latter have a new song out now too.

Had not heard of Loma before about half an hour ago when Black Willow came up via the Tidal algorithm

Half an hour into their back catalogue. What an utterly amazing band

Hurray! Glad you’ve got into them, they’re such a great band! Give the first two Cross Record releases a go as well if you need more.

Love them. Ocotillo finds its way on to most playlists/compilations that I’ve created for people over the past 4 years.

Everybody left (cos I had to go to A&E, so my cooking was delayed) and now I’m listening to unbraided.

Everything about this track is imo incredible. Brilliant. Beautiful.
