OMEN MOTH

On Omen Moth's quietly psychedelic debut record Losing the Names, songwriter Kurt Schuler weaves together stories of heartbreak, faith and identity in a lost era of working class America. Drawing on elements of sixties folk and psychedelia, the record sets the stage for characters whose lives unfold against a backdrop of northwest Lynchian eeriness. A long time native of the Pacific Northwest, Kurt sharpened his songwriting and compositional skills in the Seattle area opening for acts such as Damien Jurado, Pickwick, The Lonely Forest and many others. After working on home recordings in Seattle for many years, Kurt relocated to Charlottesville, Virginia to work with musician/producer Daniel Levi Goans (Lowland Hum, Gold Connections) at White Star Sound on what would eventually become Losing the Names. Working with a team of talented musicians and mixing engineers Jeff Stuart Saltzman (Stephen Malkmus, Blitzen Trapper) and Noah Georgeson (Devendra Banhart, Andy Shauf's The Party), Kurt completed Losing the Names, which is set for release in September of 2021.
