Last year, LOMA delighted us with their self-titled debut album which gave us the amazing singles “Black Willow” and “Relay Runner“. After some teasing on social media, they have now unveiled a new song, the hypnotic “Half Silences,” and an accompanying video. It was directed by the band (Emily Cross, Jonathan Meiburg, Dan Duszynski) and Sam Sanford. In the visuals, the trio is executing some dance moves surrounded by neons and fire, depicting an interesting contrast considering the languid atmosphere of the song. Watch below.

There’s a new amazing band downtown! They’re called LOMA and are comprised of Shearwater‘s Jonathan Meiburg and Cross Record‘s and Emily Cross and Dan Duszynski.

Following up on their debut “Black Willow“, the new single “Relay Runner” is a dreamy krautrock-infused track that talks about escaping a room. When they began recording the album in a house in the Texas hill country, Cross and Duszynski were actually a married couple but they broke up during the sessions.

About the track, Jonathan Meiburg detailed:

[su_quote]’Relay Runner’ was the happiest accident on the record. We discovered it when we wired up a tremolo pedal the wrong way, and got this funny, stuttering loop – and then we built a whole song around that sound. The last thing we did in the mix was erase the loop, which had gone from inspiring the song to ruining it! But it made sense that what was left underneath was a song about how to escape from a sealed room.[/su_quote]

Loma‘s eponymous debut album will be out on February 16 via Sub Pop.

Meanwhile, pre-order it there and follow the band over Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

On “Forget Forgive”, we feel the nightly vibes of Someone, while she wrote this very personal song during one night in Amsterdam. Like a moonlit chant, deep in the woods, NY band Loma brings us the hypnotizing “Black Willow”.

With young and emerging alt-pop star Noah De Leon, we discover the difficulties of connecting to the people closest to you, when you are struggling with your own identity on “Big Blue Eyes”. Berlin-based artist Fil Bo Riva is a bold artist with playful songwriting in his new single “Head Sonata (Love Control)”.

London-over-Gothenburg singer Francis Novotny amazes us with his newest track “Broken Arrow”, an empowering song mixing his angelic voice with warm Eastern rhythms. On “New Supplier”, Airplane Man are looking for a remedy to cure their heartbreak and finally find the light.
