‘Rushing Lattice’ by Oh Lonesome Ana | New Album, ‘MEG/ \DETH TEE’
Exclusive track premiere of ‘Rushing Lattice’ by Oh Lonesome Ana, taken from the upcoming debut album, ‘MEG/ \DETH TEE’, out July 15th.
“This song was arranged and produced by the band and came together relatively quickly after it was written. You can hear some of our less obvious musical influences here, Yo La Tengo specifically, that we don’t really come back to again over the course of the record, especially as the drones expand during the repeating outro section. We also worked with Patrick Hills at Earthtone Studios and our dear friend Rachael McElhiney, and were all able to come up with background vocals which I think make the track way more beautiful than we expected it to be”.
The group recently completed work on their debut full-length entitled ‘MEG/ \DETH TEE’. The band recorded the single and album with Grammy nominated producer Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Oathbreaker, Gouge Away et cetera).
The spirit of ‘Rushing Lattice’ and the upcoming album is deeply personal, reflective and explores the depths and memories of childhood. The lyrics for the track were written by artist David Mohr as long form prose poetry, and further adapted into shorter lyric form. The dual format approach is also taken for each song on
‘MEG/ \DETH TEE’, and will be made available by the band online soon.
Singer/Guitarist Evan Bailey speaks on ‘Rushing Lattice’ and the upcoming album: “‘MEG/\DETH TEE’ is a record about childhood trauma, but also about every experience you carry with you; painful and joyous. What do you keep with you and what do you throw away?”
Friend Linda Sao could easily build anticipation for the album with her brief review of the effort. “Needless to say, the entire recording is beautiful, energizing, and easy to keep on loop. You have this way of making heavy and dark songs still catchy and fun — and that’s something I think is really difficult to do well. The production, your own song swells, and the background vox are pro, as expected, but — again — it’s your song lyrics that kill me every time….Your lyrics are always just so moving: “real” or “raw” or “cutting” come to my mind when I think of how to describe them…I don’t know if they’re autobiographical and always from a place of life reflection ..or if you write creative, fictional narratives, but your songs are gut-wrenching”.
