We wanted to play a show to celebrate the release of Don’t Shy Away. Since we can’t, we tried to do the next best thing: just before EC moved to the UK, we met in Texas to perform songs from the album as a three-piece. It’s not the full-band show we’re dreaming of, but it’s us in a room together, which feels like a rare luxury in these quarantine days. We’ll be releasing one performance per day from the session on our YouTube channel, at 7PM GMT, 3PM Eastern, Noon Pacific. At least one of us will attend on a live chat, and you can ask us about anything under the sun.

It’s release day! Do you have yours yet? First-week sales mean a lot in the record industry, even during the quarantine strangeness. If you like our music, the two best things you can do for us are:  buy the album this week, and tell your friends about us!

Facepalm alert: We've just learned that the first pressings of the Loma LP and CD are MISSING THE MUSICIAN CREDITS. Please rest assured we don't think this record played itself!

Release date approaches. Time remains elastic. Four more days before Don’t Shy Away comes out. Is that an instant or an eternity? Watch this video for “Elliptical Days” and try to decide.

I fix my gaze.

Our new song, “Homing”, assembled and produced by Brian Eno, is out today!

Today: two more videos (and songs) from our new album, Don't Shy Away.

Both the title track, "Don't Shy Away", whose video was directed by Dan, and the first song on the album, "I Fix My Gaze", whose video was directed by Emily. These are two of the dreamier songs on the record, you might say. They're also some of our favorites.

And if you're not yet sold on the record, here's some good news: if you pre-order it from the Sub Pop Mega-Mart right now, you'll be able to stream it in its glorious entirety on their site starting this Friday. (!!) (Of course, if you prefer to order it somewhere else, we would still very much appreciate it.)

Love to you from us, and thank you for watching and listening -

Don’t Shy Away

Hi Friends of Loma,

It's been a minute since we were last in touch, but we can finally share some good news:

Our new album, Don't Shy Away, is now available for pre-order from Sub Pop.

It'll be released on October 23rd— but if you pre-order it you'll be able to stream it at least a month before that. As usual, the first pressing of the vinyl will be special.

This album means a LOT to us—we spent more than a year working on it—and we'll have more to say (and show) soon. But if you like "Ocotillo", please share it with anyone you think might like it.

We hope your spirits—and those of all your loved people and animals—are holding up.

XO, and hasta pronto-

///// EC/JM/DD/LOMA \\\\\
