For the past two years, Lauren Morgan, formerly of the TikTok-viral indie band SALES<\/a>, has been releasing excellent indie-pop under the name Lorg. Maybe you caught “Brandy<\/a>” or the Nightlands collab “Crossroads<\/a>,” and maybe your entrypoint is “Marathonia.” Out today, the song flows with an irresistible momentum, matching languid chillwavey guitar strums with a lo-fi backbeat and Lorg’s wistful vocals.<\/p>\n

They shared these words about the lyrics:<\/p>\n

My closest friend was moving away to NYC around the time my relationship was feeling out of reach\/doomed. I felt like the two people I really wanted around were not there anymore. Brings a little tear to my eye even now. I wrote this song for Daniel \u2014 athletic, self-assured, a beam of light. For the lyrics, I imagined going on a run with him. I\u2019ve never been a great runner and I hope when I die whoever is on the other side gives me a good reason for that. Ever since we met, Daniel and I were fast friends and this song came out of me 100 percent complete. Songs like these give me energy for 10 more.<\/p>\n

And some more about how the music came together:<\/p>\n

I enjoy using the Ableton drum kits and this song features a silly sound\u2013 \u201cBeatbox Quashes\u201d on the Subtle Electronics Kit. Sometimes you think you\u2019d never use a sound ever and other times you think, \u2018hey, i\u2019ll build an entire song around this.\u2019 The jangly sustained intro chords kind of made me feel like Big Star for a moment. In the studio this song got some proper embellishments. But I always like to keep the feeling of the recording from my home studio. Three cheers for the stark beauty of a guitar plugged straight into your computer.<\/p>\n
