8 years is an eternity to go without releasing new material but it took that long for Lomac to find the right direction for his next record. The result is “Northern Cities Southern Stars”, Lomac’s third official release and his most attentive in terms of production and song arrangement. Recorded primarily in Chicago over the course of 2016, he took the helm as multi-instrumentalist, engineer and producer, tracking softer material at his Lakeview apartment and louder material at the 100 year old Unity Lutheran church in Edgewater. The setup proved key to achieving the core sound of the album, a profusion of both intimate and intense musical components placed in juxtaposition throughout the songs. The finished recordings feature an eclectic mash-up of genres, including indie rock, pop, folk and roots music, without compromising the characteristics Lomac is known for: solid songwriting matched to lyrics that have power and genuine depth. ​ ​ ​ ​
