Dear Life:

"From 2019 to 2023 Lindsay Reamer worked as a field scientist. With a guitar and a bag of books in tow, she would leave her home in Philadelphia for the postcard scenes of the American landscape to gather data on visitation in National Parks. She counted cars and RVs, surveyed visitors, and made a temporary home for a few weeks at a time wherever she landed. All the while, she collected her own observations like specimens and slowly weaved the songs that would form her debut full-length, ‘Natural Science.’

Recorded throughout 2023 by Lucas Knapp, ‘Natural Science’ paints with a full spectrum. Humor rubs elbows with heartbreak. Acoustic guitars brush up against synthesizers, cradling Reamer as she sings about the American Chestnut tree extinction, employee gossip at a Day’s Inn, fishing beside a power plant, turf grass farms, and waking up next to day-old take-out. The indifferent beauty of nature is held up next to the everyday as Reamer does her very best to find clues for navigating the latter by musing upon both.

Following the release of her self-produced EP ‘Lucky’ (Dear Life Records) in 2021, Reamer assembled a band with musicians from Philadelphia’s vibrant music community and began working her once solo-acoustic songs into full band arrangements. After a brief flirtation with dance music which led to 2022’s viral single “Touch Tank,” Reamer settled into a sound that lies somewhere in the folk-rock-pop matrix, explored with the humor and lightness of songwriters like Sheryl Crow or Melanie. Reamer reflects: “When I heard the songs with the band, I knew it was time to make the record. It felt like something I had been working towards my whole life. I grew up around musicians but I never thought I was good enough to be in a band or even to make my own music. My grandmother Joan gave me voice lessons after school, my mom was an opera singer, and my dad a guitar player. But it wasn’t until a few years ago that I realized I could do it. It didn’t matter if I could shred on the guitar or something. It was like some illusion shattered.”

Reamer is a sincere storyteller. The self-doubt and heartbreak expressed in songs like “Spring Song,” “Sugar,” or “Red Flowers” give way to the triumphant moments of self-acceptance and love in “Lucky,” “Necessary,” and “Figs and Peaches.” ‘Natural Science’ chronicles a path to confidence, an honest reflection of someone with the capacity to hold a deep well of emotion who also makes sure to not take it all too seriously. “Gardens on the land / Castles on the beaches / I trust my hand and / Pluck my figs and peaches,” Reamer sings, as she works to reconcile the strange difficulty we have at finding happiness despite the obvious beauty all around us.
