Loma
How Will I Live Without A Body
"It's like a demon enters the room, whenever we get together", writer, singer and instrumentalist Cross says of the struggle to bring new Loma music into the world. Following the release of their 2020 second album 'Don't Shy Away,' Loma's three members were cast around the globe and the band-not for the first time-entered a deep sleep. In an attempt to salvage the record and the band, Cross suggested they regroup. With minimal recording gear and few instruments, Loma turned two whitewashed rooms into a makeshift studio, using a padded coffin as a vocal booth. What emerged was 'How Will I Live Without A Body?': a gorgeous, unique, and oddly comforting album about partnership, loss, regeneration, and fighting the feeling that we're all in this alone. Many of its songs have a feeling of restless motion; faceless characters drift through meetings and partings, tangling together and slipping away.
