Los Angeles via Colombia artist Loyal Lobos, came out with “Swim” after an 11 months hiatus, and may we say that it is stunning. Andrea Silva (Loyal Lobos) crafts raw, alt-folk songs that break convention. Imbued with a hazy melancholy, Silva mines personal experience, the melodrama of Colombian telenovelas, and memories of a childhood during which her parents considered music an unwelcome distraction to create poetic, painterly music that makes sweeping allusions to love, sexuality and femininity. About the track Andrea said:

“Swim is a confession of love. It explores loneliness and the experience of revealing yourself to another. It’s basically the classic plot line of a millennial televelona.”

Loyal Lobos discards simplistic pop narratives and traditional folk story arcs, turning instead to sounds and words that conjure images, textures and situations specific to her life. And yet – as with many great songwriters – this specificity is used as a way to explore emotional themes that resonate both deeply and broadly.

Her EP “The Fall” will come out in late Fall and it got started in the aftermath of a failed relationship, whilst sofa surfing and seeking solace in Los Angeles, Silva began to write songs that describe love and heartbreak but refuse to slip into the inertia of all-consuming sadness.
