About
Loma is an American indie trio formed in 2016 in Dripping Springs, Texas, by singer and visual artist Emily Cross, multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Meiburg (of Shearwater), and producer-engineer Dan Duszynski. The band has released three albums on Sub Pop Records - Loma (2018), Don't Shy Away (2020, featuring contributions from Brian Eno), and How Will I Live Without a Body? (2024) - building a reputation for atmospheric, slow-burning music that weaves field recordings, chamber textures, and Cross's translucent voice into something hard to categorize.
