Biography
Lauren O'Connell (born December 10, 1988) is an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer from Rochester, New York. They have independently released six solo albums, and two EPs as a duo with Nataly Dawn under the group name My Terrible Friend.
Their fourth original album, Details, is a record as ambitious as it is strident in its solitary ruminations on love lost and circadian bloom. Details marks a striking shift from O'Connell's humble beginnings of home-recorded bowed banjo and percussive clangs of books and pans, to expansively twangy rock atmospheres and heart-rending words sung with blistering stoicism – "It was the year of the hole in my chest, writing appeals with everything I had left".
