“Songs are like cats—sometimes they just pick you,“ says Loma's Dan Duszynski. “Emily and I first heard ’Going Out’ while we were playing at a record store in Austin a few years ago. I went to the counter to ask who it was, and the album (Dinner’s Three EPs) is still in rotation at our home/studio.“
