Whether you've followed Lydia's career forever, or you're new to her game, Real is gonna grab your ears.

She's half this, half that, one part something else. But now, Real and Lydia Loveless are reference points all their own Genre-agnostic, Lydia and her road-tightened band stretch from soaring, singalong pop gems, roots around the edges, to proto-punk. There are many sources, but the album creates a sonic center all it's own. Song to song, moment to moment, you might find yourself thinking Inchthat could beInch this, or Inchthere are moments ofInch that, but you are quickly transported away to another moment, another thought, another sound, another shot at honesty. Always a gifted songwriter, Lydia gives the full and sometimes terrifying, sometimes ecstatic force to the word Inchreal.Inch Struggles between balance and outburst, infectious choruses fronting emotional torment are sung with a sneer, a spit, or a tenderness and openness that is both intensely personal and relatably universal. It is, as the title suggests, real.

Lydia Loveless' Daughter is an 11-track record that came together over the course of three long, challenging but rewarding years. In 2014 Lydia released Somewhere Else and boldly threw off the shackles of just being another artist in the Americana community. The record ended up on multiple year end lists and 2016's Real continued the trend upwards in the way of awareness, sales and all the metrics the industry deems necessary for success and survival. However just as things were taking root professionally it became clear it was time to take inventory of things personally. She'd been on tour for the better part of seven years, living out of a suitcase, calling Columbus home in between and trying to save her marriage. Outcomes are sometimes inevitable and along with this change she also dealt with parting ways with her long-time record tag. Lydia set up shop in the triangle area of North Carolina and has slowly been finding that which she was looking for stability, strength and inspiration. All of which are on display on Daughter. Daughter captures Lydia and her band at their fiery best and her songwriting has never been stronger. The portrait of the artist as a WOMAN. Daughter was recorded over the course of a few weeks in Chicago with Tom Shick at The Loft and finds them in control of their signature heartland, barroom sound, while also stretching to new places. It's another take no prisoners type record with a few scores settled along the way.A1. Dead WriterA2. Love Is Not EnoughA3. WringerA4. Can't ThinkA5. Say My NameB1. NeverB2. DaughterB3.

Lydia Loveless - Something Else [VINYL LP] date 08/23/2024
Vinyl LP pressing. 2014 album from the Alt-Country singer/songwriter. Two years after the critical success of her breakout second album, Indestructible Machine, Lydia Loveless emerges from the trenches of hometown Columbus, OH with the gloves off and brimming with confidence. While her previous album was described as Hillbilly Punk with a Honky Tonk heart (Uncut), this one can't be so quickly shoe-horned into neat categorical cubbyholes. No, things are different this time around Loveless and her band have collectively dismissed the genre blinders and sonic boundaries that come from playing it from a safe, familiar place. Writing from this new-found place of conviction, Lydia crafted 10 songs that are stark in their honesty, self-examination, and openness.
