Songwriter El May - also known as Lara Meyerratken - has created an album full of love, loss, desire, and strength in The Other Person is You. The record is a love-letter to the fully-lived life, written by a woman who dedicates her days to searching for answers to her big questions through making music and art. "The record itself became the resolution to all this searching," says Lara. "There's an alchemy in turning experiences into music that brings about so much of the repair. The discipline, the right to make a noise, being invisible verses existing, intangible hurt into something I can begin to understand, something people might be able to dance to." For all the solitary time Meyerratken spent writing and producing, there's a celebratory excitement in the album, owing to her recruitment of a "bunch of friends that live around me in LA." - Allison Pierce (The Pierces), Koool G Murder (Eels), Chris Cheney (The Living End), Sean Eden (Luna), members of The Silver Lake Chorus, Sara Lov (Devics), Blake Hazard (The Submarines), Eugene Kelly (The Vaselines) and Britta Phillips and Dean Wareham (Luna, Dean and Britta). Prior to recording under the moniker El May, Meyerratken's impressive capabilities as a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist were harnessed by a remarkable variety of artists such as Nada Surf, Luna, Crooked Fingers, and Luscious Jackson.
