Seven Bar and Kitchen will be playing host to a familiar sight on Tuesday, September 22nd when Portland-based chamber-pop band Loch Lomond returns to Santa Barbara for the first time since 2011. As confirmed by frontman Ritchie Young, the performance will feature several songs from the band’s forthcoming 2016 album Pens from Spain, their sixth full-length release.
For a band like Loch Lomond that eschews the prototypical manner of writing and producing new music, these few years in between central coast appearances have allowed them to further develop their sound for the new album.
“There are a few songs that remind me of our last couple records, but it’s a little more diverse,” says Young. “I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel, and I don’t think that I’d be the person to do that.”
