Late last week Loma shared a video for a brand new song, “Half Silences.” We didn’t see the press release and since the news was only posted to a handful of other websites we slept on this news. But we were big fans of the band’s self-titled debut album, released back in February 2018 via Sub Pop, so we are rectifying that oversight. “Half Silences” is a standalone single for now on Sub Pop, although a press release says the band is working on their second album. The band self-directed the video with the help of Sam Sanford and it features them dancing along to the song out in nature at night. Watch it below.

Loma consists of Shearwater singer Jonathan Meiburg and the two members of Cross Record (Emily Cross and Dan Duszynski). Meiburg met Cross Record when the duo opened for Shearwater in 2016.

Meiburg had this to say about the “Half Silences” video in a press release: “We’re deep inside the new album, but didn’t want to wait to release this song. That’s not CGI, by the way; Dan and I held the fireworks while Emily danced and our friend Sam yelled ‘Lower! Higher! To the left!’. Watch for a cameo by Noodle the cat.”
