Writing from a new-found place of conviction, Lydia Loveless crafted 10 songs that are stark in their honesty, self-examination, and openness. Without ditching the ribald, spit-in-your-eye attitude of her previous recordings, Loveless travels into some parallel-universe, roots-born Exile In Guyville territory. These are songs that find her asserting stylistic choices, while baring themes of insatiable desire, unrequited emotion, and mistake-making on life's crooked, fucked up path.
Recorded at Sonic Lounge in her hometown Columbus, OH, Somewhere Else is more elemental than any of Loveless’ previous material; it’s about longing for the other - whether that’s something emotional, physical, or mental.
SPIN has already covered Lydia in advance of the
album (as one of the 5
Best New Artists of January, on their 50
Albums to Hear in 2014, and in a This
Is Happening feature) and ELLE.com
just premiered a new track “Head.”
