Loene Carmen (born 1970),[1] better known by stage name Lo Carmen, is an Australian singer-songwriter, musician, music producer, author and actress[2] with multiple albums in the indie rock vein.
She records, performs and tours solo or with long time band The Great Beyond, published memoir Lovers Dreamers Fighters[3] and received Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress nominations for Australian films The Year My Voice Broke and Tom White.
Carmen's eighth solo album, Transatlantic Light was released in September 2024 on her own label, Chiquita Records, with a limited edition vinyl pressing through Impressed Recordings.[4] Rock critic Will Hermes described it as 'a holy-glowing dreamscape of smoke-clouded guitars, loping basslines and tantric drums that channel a history of sound recordings, from delta blues to chiaroscuro surf reveries, haunted pop ballads to modern bloodied valentines'[5] in his liner notes.
