Биография

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. In many ways, that makes this new eleven-song collection from Rothman a mission statement on the world as it ought to be in the post-pandemic, post-Trump era. 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. Good Morning, America follows Rothman's critically beloved 2017 debut The Book of Law, which prompted Pitchfork to proclaim “after working behind the scenes as a producer on albums like Angel Olsen’s My Woman, Rothman comes fully into focus now,” and additional projects as a producer, film composer, and actor. Since the debut, Rothman has produced Marissa Nadler’s For My Crimes, Kim Gordon’s No Home Record, and the 2020 star-studded The Turning soundtrack featuring Mitski, girl in red, Kim Gordon, and Soccer Mommy. Rothman has scored several film projects including: the New York Times’ “Great Performers” series, which featured Timothee Chalamet, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Nicole Kidman; a short on cult filmmaker Kenneth Anger for Gucci; and the Joan Jett biopic The Runaways.
