CD pre-orders Vinyl pre-orders

Portland's Loch Lomond recently announced that they are bringing their acclaimed brand of symphonic chamber pop to the growing Portland label/media arts collective/store/gallery, Tender Loving Empire, with their much anticipated second full length Little Me Will Start A Storm set for release on Tuesday, February 22nd (cd, vinyl, and digital.) The stunning track "Elephants & Little Girls," the first single, is available as a free download. Red Bull has also featured the Loch Lomond track "Wax & Wire" (taken from the previous Night Bats EP) in the recent short film/riding video for new riding clip featuring Danny MacAskill, following him on a journey from Edinburgh back to his hometown Dunvegan, in the Isle of Skye. The video recently cracked an unbelievable 3 million views on YouTube!

In addition to employing notable visceral and expert melodic acrobatics, the co-ed sextet of Loch Lomond distinctly incorporates the use of harmonic vocals, mandolin, theremin, bass clarinet, and all manner of exclamatory percussion minutia to foil the even more distinct and arresting voice of lead singer/multi-instrumentalist Ritchie Young. He's able to switch from high-pitched fragility to alto thunder in the turn of a phrase, yet he knows the power of restraint intuitively, saving vocal tornadoes for emotional apexes buoyed by string swells and moving arrangements. The new album was mixed by Adam Selzer (who has recorded all of M Ward's records), Tucker Martine (Laura Veirs, The Decemberists), and Kevin Robinson (of Viva Voce).
