Hi folks!

My name’s Liam Coker, I’m the keyboardist and lead singer in my band Lindsay The Mathlete. Our debut record Milk For Warmth just dropped today and I thought I’d get the word out.

It’s made up of jangly power-pop, intimate ballads, and psychedelic pop, all under one roof. So please check it out!

Awesome work man! Such a breath of fresh air despite feeling like an homage to timeless sounds in music. The retro power pop vibes on this project make it a blast from the heavenly chorus on “Together,” to the heights of “Tonight,” to the grand finale of “Do Re Mi.”

I think the lead single, “True To You” is my favorite track from the album but that could be familiarity bias- will be sinking my teeth into this with time.

Hi everyone! My band just dropped a new single called “Too Long” which is part of a rock opera that should be coming out in the Fall. Any reviews or comments appreciated! https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/lindsaythemathlete/too-long

Hey Coker, thanks for sharing! Interesting song – the changes are cool.

I would love to know more about this rock opera. Can you tell me more about the concept? Do the songs tell a story when pieced together?

Also, what is the cover art? Is that part of your rock opera?

For the readers – here’s the Spotify stream

It takes place in a fictional world stylized around the age of steamships from the 1890s through the 1920s. It has fantasy elements tossed in there. It follows the main character Phillip who leaves his home to become a sailor in the company of Captain Oligald, an old sailor that can do cool Gandalf style wizard stuff. There’s Officer Lightroller (the voice singing “Hold it true, one of you holds the key to our plea”), and Alice, the navigator (the falsetto vocals singing “We mustn’t stay too long” are her). The actual telling of the story was as important to me as the production of each track, since I do intend on writing a proper summary of the entire story after the album comes out. Trust though that it does follow the story closely and will make sense once the album is out.

The cover is based on those old field notebooks farmers used to keep back in the 50s and 60s, it’s supposed to look like a map on a cheap notebook that someone in this world may have. The island circled in red (as well as the word circled in red below) is Southfordia, the location this song takes place at. It’s a bustling and lively port city, which I tried to communicate with the lyrics as well as the slightly chaotic nature of the first half.

Thanks for asking!
