THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Susanna Hoffs’ Lost Record come straight from her archives, where it has remained since being recorded in 1999 with a group of friends in her garage.
Hoffs describes that time as a “sweet, special period of being home with a new baby, but also an exploration of identity, separate from The Bangles. It’s an immense thrill to finally be able to share rare recordings that have been near and dear to my heart.”
The musicial friends who visited Susanna’s garage to write and record included The Go-Go’s Charlotte Caffey and Jane Wiedlin. The garage has factored heavily in Susanna’s entire journey as a musician. “I love garage rock, many of my favorite songs were written in them, and I lived in garages during the ’80s.”
The Lost Record contains the original version of Under A Cloud, a song later released by The Bangles in 2011. Written by Hoffs and Dillon O’Brian, I Will Take Care of You was also recorded by The Bangles, but this is the elegant and raw version Hoffs always wanted to release.”
