The Other Planets are a 4-piece psychedelic country band based in Brooklyn. Their songs arc towards the early ‘70s sounds of country music, when country and folk fused together on the West Coast to give birth to rock n roll’s more laid-back twin. They go heavy on the three-part harmonies and savant-like pedal steel playing, with songs of long strange trips and poignant yearnings from the edge of the barstool. When the Planets are aligned, classic country music and fuzzed out psychedelia become one body — at which point, you feel like dancing.
Olivia Ellen Lloyd will try anything once. From flight attendant school in Dallas to producing theater in New York and teaching in Guatemala, Lloyd sought adventure but struggled to find a greater sense of purpose - until she found her way back to music. Channeling that restless spirit, she writes songs that pay homage to her Appalachian roots while charting fresh territory. Her debut album, Loose Cannon, has been streamed over 1 million times while Olivia has been crossing the country playing shows, winning songwriting contests (like Kerrville in 2023) and generally eating life down to the rind.
Heavily influenced by country, folk, and indie rock, Lloyd’s sound combines the rooted sounds of her traditional Appalachian upbringing with the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants nature of her current life. She is inspired by the rich sounds of New York City, the peaceful quiet of her small hometown, and everything in between. For more information: www.olivialloydmusic.com
