I first saw Andrea Silva (aka Loyal Lobos) perform at a house concert we were both playing at. It was just her and a guitar, singing like a fucking angel, playing songs that slice through your heart like a high school breakup. We started talking about working together that night. Cut to 2 years later, and voila—”The Fall” is finally born to the world.

Andrea played guitar, sang and wrote the songs. I produced, played guitar and keys, and did a bit of co-writing. Kyle Crane played drums and percussion. Sam Wilkes played bass. Sam Valdez sang some harmonies. Theo Karon did the mix. Jason Soda engineered for us as his lovely studio Palomino Sound where we did basic tracks.

Read some nice things people have said about it here and here and here and here or just skip all that and give it a listen below.

Loyal Lobos Loyal Lobos is the moniker for LA-based singer and songwriter Andrea Silva. Drawing on influences as diverse as the hazy melancholy of Mazzy Star and Nick Drake, the melodrama of Colombian telenovelas and her memories of a childhood during which her parents considered music an unwelcome distraction, Silva writes raw, alt-folk songs that break convention.
