Sydney artist Lo Carmen has today announced that her new album Transatlantic Light, will be released on vinyl on Sept 13th and digital on Sept 20th.

Self produced, recorded with her long time band The Great Beyond – Cec Condon on drums (Mess Hall), Ken Gormly on bass (Cruel Sea and Sam Worrad on guitar (Holy Soul), the album explores new sonic landscapes while maintaining the intimate, confessional style that defines her work. There are contributions from special guests including backing vocals from Robyn Hitchcock, Carmen’s father rock legend Peter Head on Hammond and piano and a ramshackle children’s choir sing-along on the new single ‘Fix Your Heart Or Die’.

Impressed Recordings are pressing exclusive limited edition clear pink vinyl with individually numbered obi strip (only 200 copies), featuring liner notes by Will Hermes (author of Lou Reed: King of New York).

On the single (see video below), Gormley’s bass provides the melodic anchor below Worrad’s psychedelic, wandering guitar trails, while Carmen coos in her inimitable breathy style. There’s always the faint glimmer of an irreverent sneer in her dreamy delivery… the bitter to the sweet amid the loose and warm, garage and country rock shimmer.
