CLASSICALLY-TRAINED NEWCOMERS TO AUSTIN'S DIVERSE SCENE SHOW EARLY SIGNS OF GREATNESS
Austin art-pop group Loveme are excited to share their poignant new singles today, “Promise,” and “Loom.” Recorded and mixed entirely at their home studio and co-produced by Font’s Anthony Laurence, these songs complement each other sonically and emotionally. The classically-trained band uses spoken word, atmospheric production, and thickly-layered vocal harmonies to explore what it means to surrender to desire. Both tracks are now available at all DSPs, along with a haunting found-footage visualizer for “Loom.”
"What inspired us to write these songs was our ability to support each other during hard times and the ambition to create art that can evoke an emotional reaction," says Ernesto Grey, guitarist of Loveme.

Today’s release marks a new chapter for the band, who have built considerable anticipation ahead of widely sharing a glimpse of their sound and ethos with the world. After performing to sold-out crowds with bands like Model/Acrtiz and Font around their hometown of Austin, TX for the last year, “Loom” and “Promise” cement Loveme as a band deserving of national attention.
To celebrate their debut singles, Loveme will perform at Austin’s The 13th Floor tomorrow on Saturday, November 4, alongside Hey Cowboy! And Daydream Twins. For more information, go to the13thflooraustin.com.

LOVEME LIVE
NOVEMBER
4 - The 13th Floor - Austin, TX
Formed in Austin, TX, Loveme is an amalgamation of five friends devoted to mining their lives. The group is composed of classically trained pianists Rae Mascardo, Ernesto Grey, and Kelly Gibson, along with Wade Stephens, a classically trained drummer who also studied jazz, and Sammi Drogosch, a classically trained vocalist who originally made her trek to Austin to study opera.
Sharing this classical background, their sound springs from a well of understanding how tonal powers can express and connect the intricacies of human experience and emotion.
Loveme was born when three members found themselves weathering a similar landscape of grief, loss, and transition. In a spacious room, they hooked up an electric guitar and a reverb-soaked microphone and let loose a wail that prophesied their musical world into existence. In the many nights of pulling apart their grief and developing an intimacy with its shapes and colors, they found a net beneath them that not only held and supported them but propelled them forward with meaning, into healing and rebirth.
While establishing their roots within Austin’s burgeoning music scene and selling out shows, Loveme is working on their debut record, set to release in 2024.
