30 July 2020, 14:35 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Loma, the trio made up of Emily Cross and Dan Duszinsky from Cross Record and Jonathan Meiburg of Shearwater, have announced their second album, Don’t Shy Away, with the lead single "Ocotillo".

"Ocotillo" is the group's first new track since their 2018 guided meditation track "The Rind in Your Mind".

The band says of their new single, ""Ocotillo" is a graceful, spindly plant that flowers extravagantly after rain - but it lives in places where it doesn't rain for months, even years. It's not hard to identify with it."

Don't Shy Away will follow on from Loma's self-titled 2018 debut LP. The new album was produced and recorded by the band at Dandysounds in Dripping Strings, aside from "Homing", which features production from Brian Eno.

The album also features contributions from Emily Lee (piano, violin), Matt Schuessler (bass), and Flock of Dimes/Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner.

Tracklist:

  1. I Fix My Gaze
  2. Ocotillo
  3. Half Silences
  4. Elliptical Days
  5. Given a Sign
  6. Thorn
  7. Breaking Waves Like a Stone
  8. Blue Rainbow
  9. Jenny
  10. Don’t Shy Away
  11. Homing
"Ocotillo" is out now. Loma's second album Don't Shy Away arrives 23 October via Sub Pop, and is available to pre-order now.
