Loch Lomond's new EP titled Night Bats is out TODAY, November 10! Recorded in August after a year on the road that included stints with the Decemberists, Blitzen Trapper, Blind Pilot and headlining runs, the band headed back to Portland to produce a handful of new songs on their own. They brought in Portland mastermind Tucker Martine (Sufjan Stephens, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, REM) for his mixing touches, and thus Night Bats was born. It includes 4 new songs from the band as well as a cover of the Bee Gees' "Holiday". The EP as a whole sounds BIG at times, bizarre at others. Beautiful all around. And as Paste Magazine said it best: "If you can't get enough of the spiritual children of Nick Drake (Iron and Wine, Bon Iver, Sun Kil Moon, Alexi Murdoch), Portland Oregon's Loch Lomond is your new favorite band.

Don't miss out when they come through your town!
