Elizabeth le Fey

Elizabeth Gomez, known as Elizabeth Le Fey also known by the stage name Globelamp is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and producer from California, United States.
Career.
Le Fey, who was born Elizabeth Gomez, began studying classic piano at the age of four and started writing poetry at as a teen inspired by books like the Harry Potter series and old mythological legends. She would start putting music to those poems years later, once she learned to play the guitar. Her earliest music influences include Syd Barrett and Stevie Nicks, but as a young teen, she was especially inspired by the works of Conor Oberst, Fiona Apple, and Tori Amos, which later inspired her to begin performing on her acoustic guitar at small coffee shops in Orange County, California. At age 15 she saw Le Tigre perform in Los Angeles, which made her love feminist rock.
In her early twenties, inspired by third-wave feminist rock groups like Sleater-Kinney and Bikini Kill, she moved to Olympia, Washington, to study at Evergreen State College. Shortly thereafter, she became an intern at K Records and formed psych-punk band Meowtain. During which she wrote and self-released her self-titled EP "Globelamp", for her solo project of the same name. She then took off to write, produce, and record her debut full length "Star Dust", but prior to release, she toured as a singer in the psych-rock band Foxygen, whose singer, Sam France, had co-produced.

Foxygen.
Le Fey began touring with Foxygen in September 2012, after being asked to star in their music video "San Francisco".
Before the release of "We Are The 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic" she went on tour with Foxygen and of Montreal.
After Foxygen's acclaimed album was released she went on tour with them to promote the band through Europe and across the United States with Unknown Mortal Orchestra. While in Europe Foxygen recorded a take away show with and played an on air show at the BBC.
"Creative and personal disagreements" led to her being removed from the band, and in response she vented her thoughts in a Tumblr post, in which she criticized the other members (she was dating France at the time) very strongly. The post, according to the "San Francisco Weekly", was widely misread as her announcing the breakup of the band, leading to "Le Fey being decried as the Yoko Ono for the Tumblr era, the horrid woman responsible for the decline and dissolution of Foxygen. It was a misogynistic troll-laden mess". France refused to hand over the tapes for "Star Dust" (she accused him of physical abuse, and he responded by saying it was the other way around), though eventually he did, but not after filing a restraining order against le Fey. A court granted France a five-year restraining order against le Fey "by the slimmest of margins" based on allegations that she had attempted to enter France's house without permission and physically threatened members of his family.
Le Fey claimed that a transcript of their January 2014 hearing showed France “admitting to hitting me,” according to the court documents. In that transcript, obtained by Pitchfork, France is asked by a judge if he “ever attacked [le Fey] physically.” France testified, “Once.” 
According to court documents, the court denied France’s request for an order that le Fey not post “any reference” to him on the internet, citing freedom of speech.
The restraining order was renewed in March 2019 because le Fey continued to "verbally assault" him and "threaten physical harm" to him online, according to court documents. However, in an interview published in May after another hearing, after which Le Fey sought a restraining order against France, Le Fey's lawyer Dan Kapelovitz told "Pitchfork" in an email that "The restraining order that was issued five years ago should never have been issued." The lawyer stated "We believe that Mr. France sought this restraining order not because he is actually in fear of any physical harm, but rather he wants to silence Ms. Gomez from speaking out about their relationship and his physical assault on her." Le Fey was denied the restraining order, after not being able to physically serve him. According to a court document transcript obtained by "Pitchfork" of their January 2014 hearing, Le Fey also recounted an alleged incident where he physically threatened her life.
In an emailed statement to Pitchfork, le Fey, who represented herself at a hearing where she attempted to get an RO on France, said: “I have still never been able to tell my story in front of a judge. Instead of having a court rule on my restraining order against Sam France based on the merits of the case, Sam France avoided being served and got an attorney to appear for him. Then his attorney convinced the judge to dismiss the case without hearing any facts of the case.”
Scott Weston, a Los Angeles County family lawyer who represented Gwen Stefani in her divorce from Gavin Rossdale stated to Pitchfork that a prior March hearing should not have been a reason to dismiss le Fey’s case with prejudice in June, noting that by law, judges are supposed to treat each party’s claims independently. “Do I think the court should have dismissed it with prejudice? No,” he said. “You still have to give the person their day in court to try to prove their claims.”
"Star Dust".
"Star Dust" began as a lo-fi 8 track cassette recording experiment, recorded in many different houses across the United States. Le Fey first released "Star Dust" as an EP before re-releasing it as a full length, a year later on June 3, 2014 through Gazelle Recordings, holding six additional tracks.
Accompanying the release of "Star Dust", Le Fey released a music video for the song "Breathing Ritual", June 2014.
"Covers Albums".
In November 2014, le Fey produced and self released a covers album. A follow up was released in 2018. Laura Jane Grace of Against Me! is on the record saying the Globelamp version of "FuckMyLife666" from the second Globelamp covers collection is "better than the original".
"The Orange Glow".
In May 2015 she opened for Laura Jane Grace in New York City at City Winery, and in Los Angeles at Hollywood Forever's Masonic Lodge.
In October, she released the freak-folk album "The Orange Glow" on cassette through Psychedelic Thriftstore Recordings, before being signed to Wichita Recordings and re-releasing it June 10, 2016.
Before the re-release of "The Orange Glow", she premiered her music video for the opening track "Washington Moon" on February 18 of 2016. Followed by videos for her singles "Controversial/Confrontational" and "San Francisco" in April. "San Francisco" shares a name with a Foxygen song. The video was filmed at the Madonna Inn, which was the same location Foxygen's "San Francisco" was filmed, in which she appeared in during the summer of 2013. A few days before the release of the album, Le Fey put out the music video for her song "Artist/Traveler".
November 14, 2016 she premiered her music video for the album's title track "The Orange Glow".

On October 12, 2018 she released her third album "Romantic Cancer" through Nefarious Industries. It features guest accordion by James Felice of The Felice Brothers and guest vocals and trombone by Morgan Y. Evans (Walking Bombs). It was recorded at Bohemesphere Studios, in the Catskill Mountains.
