Today, Lou Salome — the NYC-based duo of Leah Hennessey and Jack Kilmer — announce Just Something You Cared About In High School, their debut album due out November 21 on Babe City Records.

It’s a project replete with seance-worthy indie rock that spans universes of record nerd obsessions: beatnik noise poetry in the vein of Patti Smith or Sonic Youth; glammy power pop a la Teenage Fanclub or Supergrass; the gothic romance of The House Of Love; Mojave 3’s narcotic slowcore; and everything in between.

Lou Salome also share the video for lead single “Faith.” Combining the raw exasperation of Jane’s Addiction’s “Jane Says” with the dreamy jangle of Galaxie 500 or The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, it’s a warp through time and space. Listen to “Faith” listen here.

The band will celebrate the single release with a performance at KGB Theater in NYC on Friday, September 26, which will include music from Emily Allan, Jack Haven, and more. More info here.

Just Something You Cared About In High School is an archive of love letters to a lost Eden, a chronicle of electric teenage dreams imbued with supernatural consequence and imperfect expressions of intimacy and vulnerability. While not exactly a concept album, Just Something You Cared About in High School is cinematic in scope, charting the alchemical process of infatuation, the spark of desire, the devastation of tragedy, and the allure of rock and roll’s nebulous notion of salvation.

Jack — a celebrated indie actor in films like Palo Alto and Lord of Chaos — and Leah — a director known for her work on John Early: Now More Than Ever and Zhe Zhe — first met in an acting class in New York where, during a snowstorm, they were assigned the campfire scene from My Own Private Idaho. They quickly discovered a shared obsession with obscure British post-punk and started playing shows immediately, getting the chance to open for underground legends like Ian Svenonius and Christeene.
