Loch Lomond stuns. Effortlessly combining symphonic chamber pop with the most raw, visceral and expert melodic acrobatics, the co-ed sextet employs the distinct use of harmonic vocals, mandolin, theremin, bass clarinet, and all manner of exclamatory percussion minutia to foil the even more distinct and arresting voice of lead singer/multi-instrumentalist Ritchie Young. Luring the listener with the unique range and power of his voice, Young is able to switch from high-pitched fragility to alto thunder in the turn of a phrase, yet he knows the power of restraint intuitively, saving vocal tornadoes for emotional apexes buoyed by string swells and moving arrangements.
Few bands, especially of Loch Lomond’s unique ilk, come from as disparate of backgrounds or intents: some members are teachers; some are computer programmers, some are visual artists and small business owners, and almost all are former high school band nerds, although one would never know it given the band’s tapestry-tight weave of mesmerizing grandeur.
Recently having returned from a triumphant US tour as main support for The Decemberists (“Singer Ritchie Young’s earnest demeanor belies his enormous voice, and the band’s varying instruments flesh out his songs perfectly.”—EAR FARM; “Loch Lomond deserve all the accolades they are getting.”—BrooklynVegan) and with an expertly creepy new video for new single “Blue Lead Fences” in hand, Loch Lomond is poised more now than ever to convert; to overwhelm, to stun.

Thank you for the beautiful music! 2 hours of photoshop down and a smile now plays on my face as I feel the lines around my eyes and the bubbles of joy inside. may these melodies stay with me through the night!
Hi Loch Lomond! Just stopping by your page to see whats good! Keep me in mind if you need any high quality/low cost mastering. All the details and samples are on my page. Feel free to get in touch with any questions. Take care!
Hey Loch Lomond, I am a big fan (and a good friend of Jesse Moffet). I am shooting a feature length film over the next month and a half called "The Corners" We are having a fund raiser party for it at Kelly's Olympian next Wednesday (Sept. 16) and would love to see you there. It starts at 7:30 with screenings of unreleased episodes of my series "The Free Box" then a screening of "Winona" -a short written and directed by the writer of "The Corners". Then "Stella Grace", Portland's premier trip hop band takes the stage followed by a DJ set from "Buster Douglas". It's gonna be a hoot and a great place to network with a variety of artists from all mediums in Portland. Free with a suggested donation of $5-$500. Jesse is driving down from Seattle to be there. -Jon
