Lawrence Rothman/ ‘Good Morning, America’/ KRO Records

On their new album 'Good Morning, America', Lawrence Rothman set out to create a sonic world that reverses course from the seemingly omnipresent injustices of recent times, building a landscape that places emphasis on equality and freedom of expression above all - where "you don't have to check a male or female box ever again and bands can sound like Tom Petty and Anohni on the same record." In many ways, that makes this new eleven-song collection from Rothman, out July 16 on their own KRO Records, a mission statement on the world as it ought to be in the post-pandemic, post-Trump era. Co-produced by Yves Rothman (Miya Folick, Yves Tumor) and Justin Raisen (Charli XCX, Angel Olsen, Sky Ferreira), and teaming with like-minded collaborators across genres and generations like Girlpool, Mary Lattimore, Pino Palladino, Katie Pruitt, Caroline Rose, Amanda Shires, and Lucinda Williams, 'Good Morning, America' purges the isolation, toxic masculinity and pain of the past year in search of a new dawn.
