Career

Read was raised in Silsbee, Texas.[2] She began her music career playing in bands with her brother and with high school friends.[3] Read's first full-length album, Forever, was released in 2015.[4] In 2017, she released her second full-length album, Thx, with the independent record label Double Double Whammy. The album was co-produced with Read's brother Tommy.[5] It was written over a few months while Read was sleeping in her car.[6][7] In July 2017, Stereogum named Lomelda one of their "Bands To Watch".[6]

In July 2020, it was announced that Lomelda's next album, Hannah, would be released on September 4, 2020 via Double Double Whammy.[8] "Hannah" received Best New Music from Pitchfork with a score of 8.3 saying that "The magic of Lomelda’s music is in that exchange, an infusion of strength and care from one person to another, no matter how small or ordinary. It has anchored Read’s songwriting from the beginning, and it is threaded throughout Hannah, which is warm and enveloping, like a hug.[9]
