L'Rain's forthcoming fata morgana has been selected as Stereogum's Album of the Week ahead of its 14 August release through Mexican Summer.
Taja Cheek's latest album pushes further into experimental sound design, atmospheric repetition and deliberately unstable genre boundaries.
Tracks move through ambient space, free jazz, folk, post-rock, R&B and sudden explosions of distorted guitar without treating those transitions as novelty.
The record was created with longtime collaborators Ben Chapoteau-Katz and Andrew Lappin, while Yuka Honda sequenced the final album.
