Biography

Lauren O'Connell is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer based in Oakland, CA. Their fourth original album, Details, is a record as ambitious as it is strident in its solitary ruminations on love lost and circadian bloom. Details marks a striking shift from O’Connell’s humble beginnings of home-recorded bowed banjo and percussive clangs of books and pans, to expansively twangy rock atmospheres and heart-rending words sung with blistering stoicism – “It was the year of the hole in my chest, writing appeals with everything I had left”. Details enlists the hands of co-producer/multi-instrumentalist Olivia Lee (There's Talk), drummer Lauren Grubb (To The Wedding, topographies), recording/mixing engineer Ian Pellicci (The Dodos, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down), additional mixing engineer Beau Sorenson (Tune-Yards, Death Cab for Cutie), and mastering engineer TW Walsh (Damien Jurado, Sufjan Stevens). Details is as calculated as it is catastrophic, as if for fear of falling apart. It leaves just enough room for a triumph of latent clarity, of welcoming home the hope of allowing your heart to rest easy.
