Denton, Texas based music and visual artist Claire Morales has released her new album, ‘Lost in the Desert’, which is available everywhere out now. The album, which follows the acclaimed singles “Low,” “YVB,” and “Champion,” arrives as both a full length album and a companion graphic novella, telling the story of a solo, female odyssey through the sand. Inspired by a mix of true stories and mythic tall tales, the entire work explores the lures and lusts, beauty and horrors, traps and diversions encountered on the path to self actualization. Morales and her band are not afraid to stretch genre when the themes demand it, making the album dynamic and varied with a new surprise around each bend.
The tone shifts dramatically throughout the record, moving from bright poppy bursts to ominous psychedelic swells, roaring rock and roll moments, and quiet lulls of folky introspection. Much of the work was recorded live to capture the rawness of the performance, engineered and produced by Morales and her band’s lead guitarist Alex Hastings in their hometown of Denton, Texas. ‘Lost in the Desert’ is an invitation to escape into a dreamland while also turning intentions inward, serving as a call for the lost and disheartened to press ahead, even when the journey feels insurmountable.
