Loamlands - Lez Dance (2019)

Lez Dance, the sophomore full-length from country-folk
band Loamlands is a genre-bending record exhibiting the
narrative-heavy lyrics lead singer Kym Register is
well-known for. Many tracks are intentionally bare
bones, pushing raw vocals from Register to the fore
font. With a multi-instrumental foundation featuring
cello, trumpet, pedal steel, and more, the album's
tempos and song structures vary and are not prescribed
to rhythm sections or click tracks.

Writing narrative-heavy songs has become an important
part of creating music for Register, and Lez Dance
continues to exemplify their penchant for storytelling.
Their words are especially intimate as they navigate a
tale of coming out and narrating familiar identity
struggles from a southern and genderqueer perspective.

Loamlands is a distorted country music outfit based in
North Carolina that places queer storytelling at the
forefront. Their music intimately grapples with
identity, pronouns and experiencing a queer existence in
both modern-day and historical southern culture.
