Lucifers Beard is back with a new single, “Desolation,” the second release from his forthcoming EP Welcome To Loveland, set to arrive in April 2025. A one-man band and music producer, he operates entirely on his own terms, crafting music in the studio he built himself. Unbound by any particular scene or cultural expectation, his sound is purely his own—a raw, honest expression that resonates with listeners worldwide. With over 100,000 streams and counting, his music has found a home online, shared by those who truly appreciate independent artistry.
While Welcome To Loveland is filled with energetic, foot-tapping tracks, “Desolation” takes a different path. Written as summer faded and the nights grew colder, it carries a sense of melancholy that stands apart from the rest of the EP. The contrast was intentional, adding a layer of depth to the otherwise vibrant collection. Thematically, the song reflects on the illusion of happiness, much like a theme park that projects joy while hiding what lies beneath. There’s a theatrical element to it, a reminder that no matter what’s happening behind the curtain, the show must go on.
Produced by Chris Barnes and mastered by Ed Ripley at Raretone Studios, “Desolation” is a glimpse into the world Lucifers Beard has built—one where every note and lyric is crafted with purpose. The accompanying artwork by Rob Perry adds to the immersive experience, setting the stage for what’s to come. With Welcome To Loveland on the horizon, this single offers a taste of the sonic surprises that await, blending introspection with an undeniable energy.
