Brand new item, factory sealed and ready to ship fast from the U.S.

Escape into the dreamy, intimate world of Loving with If I Am Only My Thoughts, the Canadian indie band's captivating 2020 debut studio album. Released through Last Gang Records, this beautiful 11-track collection blends lo-fi psychedelic folk, gentle indie rock, and atmospheric pop into a warm, reflective listening experience filled with delicate melodies and thoughtful songwriting.

Formed by David Parry and brothers Jesse and Lucas Henderson, Loving creates music that feels wonderfully personal, combining softly layered vocals, vintage-inspired instrumentation, and understated rhythms. Highlights include the hypnotic "Visions," the tender "Only She Knows," and the introspective title track "If I Am Only My Thoughts." Additional favorites include "January," "Lately in Another Time," "Nihilist Kite Flyer," "Simple Moon," and the beautifully atmospheric "Write a River."

Recorded to tape and completed in Victoria, British Columbia, the album explores themes of identity, uncertainty, belonging, and the search for meaning. Its warm analog textures and unhurried arrangements create a peaceful atmosphere that rewards repeated listening.

Available on Music CD or 180-Gram Black Vinyl Record, If I Am Only My Thoughts is a wonderful addition to any Loving, psychedelic folk, indie rock, dream pop, or alternative music collection, offering a timeless soundtrack for quiet moments and thoughtful reflection.

Loving's intimate, lo-fi psychedelic folk songs inspire a sense of ease while being deceptively intricate. The songs offer a space to ruminate on life's uncertainties and acknowledge the often strange journey of being alive.

With lyrics written by both Jesse and Lucas, the lush, homespun collection of songs were recorded to tape, mixed, and mastered by David in his self-described “cold, dismal” basement studio in Victoria. In contrast, these songs are balmy and inviting, a series of open-ended questions that circle the uncertainties of existence.

“There isn't a single narrative driving this album, but we do linger on some basic human problems: confusion in the face of a desire for self-knowledge and belonging, a struggle for meaning that is circular and sometimes seemingly endless," Jesse says. On If I Am Only My Thoughts, those looming questions go largely unanswered. They are fodder for further contemplation, delivered with a peaceful naturalism in the vein of contemporaries like Bedouine and Kevin Morby.
