BIOGRAPHY
Lily Arminda spills secrets with endearing confidence as she welcomes you inside the indie pop heaven of her latest EP, “DTR.” Produced by Daniel Álvarez de Toledo and Jordan Dunn-Pilz of beach goth band TOLEDO at their Bushwick studio, “DTR” (Define the Relationship) palpitates the highs and lows of relationships left up in the air. A thrilling twist from her previous work, with evolved lyrics and hi-fi bedroom production, this transition is a well executed amplification of Arminda’s already angelic sound.
Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, Arminda got her start opening for artists such as Lucy Dacus and Benjamin Francis Leftwich at local venues while working on and releasing her debut EP, “The Hourglass.” Her second EP, “Mismatched Poetry,” was born during a week spent in Jacksonville Beach, Florida collaborating with indie folk singer/songwriter/producer Corey Kilgannon. Shortly after the creation of “Mismatched Poetry,” Arminda moved to New York City and found herself collecting memories for the creation of “Neighborhood,” a lo-fi folk album rooted in the romance of the Lower East Side neighborhood of Manhattan.
While Arminda established herself as a “soft-spoken songstress” on past projects, there’s more of an edge to “DTR.” While those who haven’t been paying close attention would say that she has found her voice, she’s been much more intentional than that. She’s been waiting for the right moment to open up to us and fortunately, that time is now. “DTR” is out now on Urban Scandal Records.
