I've made a number of recordings under various names, including Past Imperfect, The Light Set, LLYDIAN, and (of course!) Lauren Oglesby.
My most recent release is a five song record called You Should Be Here. The record is about grief. I made it in tribute to my best friend, Paige Singleton, who died very suddenly in 2022 due to COVID complications.
I recorded it myself; Ajai Combelic mixed it; Aaron Thomas at ATMAS mastered it.

In 2021, I home-recorded a song (almost) every month. I took them down from public view, because I have every intention of re-vamping them for the next next record. I was in process of re-working them in 2022... and then Paige died and I was incapacitated by grief (sad shrug here). They are, however, on this private playlist on Soundcloud, and they certainly have a place in the archive.

Real Deep Cuts
Literally the deepest. But, idk, it's fun.
