LISA/LIZA- Ocean Path ORD-85

Release date: June 27, 2025

On June 27, Orindal Records will release Ocean Path, a 5-song, 27-minute EP of early home recordings by Maine-based singer, songwriter & guitarist Liza Victoria’s long-running psych folk project Lisa/Liza. Ocean Path follows Lisa/Liza’s 2023 album Breaking and Mending, an album described by Stereogum as "Spectral and immersive," Deepest Currents as "Incredible" & Post-Trash as "An instant salve."

Some words on Ocean Path from Lisa/Liza’s Liza Victoria:

Ocean Path is a look back at the first songs I made in my teens and early twenties, including some of my very first recordings, such as “Gamble.” For me, it is a letter from my younger self.

This cassette leads down paths of memory, reminding me we are always becoming and growing into who we are and what will be.

There is a peace and sense of pride in holding these songs now in the form of a curated cassette, giving them a place to be.

I wanted to be a musician, I wanted to share my inner world with others. And now I see where that lead me and feel gratitude for the path set out before me.

Each song holds time between it, at least a year between each, love and memory, and different worlds of view, threads between them.

As much as I hope this cassette shares a small piece of me with others, it is also a little sign on the road that says “keep going.”

Knowing all there is that encourages the path to roll forward, friends, different lives, and loves met along the way, encouraging me to hit record and to sing a little louder. It feels hopeful and is a feeling of being held.
