Still writing and recording independently,Outside Notion, his third album, was announced for release on 24 May 2019.

His first release on Reveal Records is from the 2021 label artists compilation, "Have You Heard?" with a song called, "A Chime".

On 6 May 2014, still under the name, 'Decade in Exile', Lloyd released the album 'Transit / Pulse' through the label 'Crash Symbols' based in Morgantown, West Virginia. The cassette consists of highly experimental instrumentals composed in reaction to the loss of Lloyd's father. Crash Symbols describe the release; "Somber guitar, loops, and a heavily textured backdrop give some songs the character of ragas, particularly on shorter tracks. It is largely Lloyd's periodic singing that amounts to the album's only distinct signal for the shift from meditation to consciousness. These tracks are beautiful and willful, and among Lloyd's most varied creations to date." ==Nano Kino==

In 2015, Lloyd founded Nano Kino with singer Sarah Suri. Bonding over a mutual love of early 4AD and Broadcast. Surfing on the Void (released 2016) is their debut 4 track EP. They are currently working on their new releases. ==Personal life==
