about the artist
Lomelda is Hannah Read's musical project. In swampy, sweaty, Silsbee, TX, she first formed the band with her high school best friends.

Four albums and a never-the-same live show chronicle these shifts in shape and sound.
Lomelda's fifth album is called Hannah. The album stretches and shrinks into many of Lomelda's different forms, from expansive "Wonder" and rock band "Reach" to meandering "Stranger Sat By Me" and finger picking "It's Infinite." Through this range of moods, Hannah sings stories…

Lomelda's fifth album is called Hannah. The album stretches and shrinks into many of Lomelda's different forms, from expansive "Wonder" and rock band "Reach" to meandering "Stranger Sat By Me" and finger picking "It's Infinite." Through this range of moods, Hannah sings stories of strangers, suns, dogs, moms, brothers, favorite bands, "oh god!"s and big shots as well as herself, by name. She rejoices and reviles her god-given name and then flips it around to name herself Hannah once again. It is an album of confession and transformation made ultimately singable.
