“It’s a long road. Just let it take you there.”
That’s the opening lyric from the new single “Sirens” by the Louisiana-based shimmer-pop band Hydrogen Child, and–for most artists on the planet–an inevitable truth. But for the five natives of Shreveport that comprise the band–Ansley Rimmer, Clyde Hargrove, Chris Rimmer, Jason Mills and Hali Kha–this song and their forthcoming EP isn’t about the ups and downs of life as a musician. It’s about trying to understand life by dealing with the “now” while striving to get to the “when.”
