June 28 street date. 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 the pandemic years, even being in the same room was impossible, and attempts to start a new record faltered. The following winter, Emily Cross suggested they regroup in the UK, in the tiny stone house where she works as an end-of-life doula. With minimal recording gear and few instruments, Loma turned two whitewashed rooms into a makeshift studio, using a padded con as a vocal booth. It was a turning point. They scrapped much of what they'd made, letting a new place set a new course. The one-lane roads, hedgerows, and dark skies of Dorset gave the new songs an inefable but unmistakable Englishness. 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.
