"if I landed on your shoulder / hummingbird feathered in blue..."
East Tennessee bred singer songwriter LB Beistad seems to like to take matters into her own hands. First of all, the moniker LB Beistad feels like the name of someone who writes novels about people with messy lives back in the land of dime store novels and, in fact, her latest "If I Was A Cowboy" would make a great title for that kind of pulp fiction. Secondly, Beistad, part silk and fine sandpaper, possesses a voice so full of life lived, of hard and good times survived that she could be one of the characters in her own books. I love the way this track sounds as imagined by Nashville producer Jared Corder (of *repeat repeat) with a vast sort of 60's Phil Spector atmosphere and 70's garden rock country chamber pop adornments like that vividly placed tambourine clap.
This is the kind of track I want to hear live, something to figuratively die for.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM

LB Beistad was born and raised in rural East Tennessee. During what she describes as a pretty isolated childhood, all of that changed when she entered a holy union with the new computer her family purchased when she was 10 years old. LB always knew she loved music since she was just a tiny tot, but the wonders of the internet opened her eyes and ears to a whole new world of possibilities when it came to music. From heavy synths to subdued folk tracks, she discovered a level of experimentation happening with independent music that she previously had no idea even existed. Ever since then she’s been using these influences to curate her own unique style that can bring out heavier pop hits like her single “Orange Coffee” or the more mellow bedroom pop sound of her latest single “Haunt You”. No matter where her music takes her… she is always grateful for that family computer.
