New Lorelei album coming soon from Slumberland Records

First-wave Slumberland Records band Lorelei are back with their first new album since
1994’s “Everyone Must Touch The Stove.” In their 90s heyday, the Washington, DC based three-piece
(Matt Dingee on guitar, Stephen Gardner on bass and Davis White on drums) with a distinctive blend
of post-rock dynamics, sneakily melodic song-writing and ear-blasting guitar noise. Finding kinship
with bands as disparate as Whorl, The Swirlies, Laika, Bailter Space and Lilys, Lorelei’s records are as
subtle and multi-layered and their live show is aggressive and powerful.

New album Enterprising Sidewalks picks right up where Lorelei left off, serving up ten exercises
in pummeling rhythms and melodic abstraction. Recorded with associates Ben Bailes (Chessie) and
Archie Moore (Velocity Girl, Black Tambourine) and mixed by Guy Fixsen (My Bloody Valentine,
Moose, Laika),

Enterprising Sidewalks is out August 14th, and the band are playing a series of shows leading up to
the release, including their first-ever west coast gigs.
