Lomelda

Lomelda is the stage name of musician Hannah Read. According to Read, Lomelda is a made-up word that means "echo of the stars".

Career Read was raised in Silsbee, Texas. She began her music career playing in bands with her brother and with high school friends. Read's first full-length album, Forever, was released in 2015. In 2017, she released her second full-length album, Thx, with the independent record label Double Double Whammy. The album was co-produced with Read's brother Tommy. It was written over a few months while Read was sleeping in her car. In July 2017, Stereogum named Lomelda one of their "Bands To Watch". It received "Best New Music" from Pitchfork with a score of 8.3, calling the album "stunning" and saying that "The magic of Lomelda’s music is in that exchange, an infusion of strength and care from one person to another, no matter how small or ordinary. It has anchored Read’s songwriting from the beginning, and it is threaded throughout Hannah, which is warm and enveloping, like a hug." On the song "It's Lomelda", Read hints at artists that have influenced her music, including Low, The Innocence Mission, Frankie Cosmos, Frank Ocean, and Yo La Tengo.
