Loma have previewed their upcoming album Don’t Shy Away with a new song called ‘Elliptical Days’. The track arrives with an accompanying music video directed and edited by the band’s Emily Cross and Dan Duzsynski in Dripping Springs, Texas. Check it out below.
“‘Elliptical Days’ was one of those songs that was pretty well fleshed out by Dan and Jonathan [Meiburg] by the time I heard it,” Cross said in a statement. “I loved how different it sounded from what we usually make together, but it was somehow still in the Loma realm—and the horn arrangement made it really special for me.”
Dan Duzsynski added: “I started ‘Elliptical Days’ as a sketch in Ableton- an exercise to learn the software and dig through some synth sounds. Jonathan heard me messing with it and walked into the control room asking, “Can we use this?” The song really came to life as he and our good friend (and touring member) Emily Lee started overdubbing piano and koto parts—and as usual, our collaboration transcended what any of us could do alone.”
Don’t Shy Away is set for release on October 23 via Sub Pop. The 11-track LP includes the previously released singles ‘Don’t Shy Away’, ‘I Fix My Gaze’, ‘Ocotilo’ and ‘Half Silences’.
