Part Time prep new LP 'Spell #6' (listen to "So Far Away")

David Loca is back with a new Part Time album, titled Spell #6, which will be out October 2 via Burger / Tough Love. While Loca is a prolific artist who has a stockpile of songs, he says these are all fairly new creations, written in the last year with a purposefully bigger and cleaner sound in hopes to reach new listeners. (For that, this noted “bedroom pop” artist made this one in an actual studio.) He’s still sticking with a mostly ’80s palette, and his hit ratio remains high. The record contains “Shattered Love,” which Part Time released back in April, and “I Can Treat You Better,” which is a collaboration with Ariel Pink. We’ve got the premiere of “So Far Away,” which Loca says is one of his new favorites. Mine too. “I wanted to take this to a very dreamy, lost dark misty forest direction,” he says, and there’s definitely a lush vibe here, with sultry sax, and sampled rainforest sounds (are those frogs?). Listen to that, and two other songs off the LP, below.
