easily one of the most exciting artists in electronic music rn.

her 2019 album For You and I was already amazing (topping Quietus' year-end list) and her sound evolved beautifully on the Nothing EP and new Reflection LP, all of it released on Hyperdub. late last year we were also blessed by the self-released "Wrong Name" EP, which was only available for a short time.

she followed this in 2022 with a new ambient alias and album as Whatever The Weather, and now another new collab EP with TVSI released on AD 93, fka Whities.

hard to put a label on her sound, I guess IDM fits, or deconstructed club, but there's also a lot of hip-hop influence (including London-specific grime and drill) which makes her sound unique.

Very hard, i got a magazine with Loraine on the cover <3

lil edit I did based on footage I had of her set at Rewire last month

s*** was soo f***ing tight highly recommend not missing out on her live set. She's so humble too, was there the whole time to check out other acts and gave me amazing tips on what other sets at the fest not to miss on twitter <3

this is really nice, trax are tight too appreciate the rec

Interesting first listen

Someone hit with her BEST track

My fav is prolly "Nothing" from the Nothing EP, on bandcamp and dsp's but not youtube.

Otherwise first and last track in op and this

up on bandcamp for one week only

Very chaotic and relatively lo-fi compared to Reflection, she calls it a "shitty EP" lol, I think it's hard. LAraine in particular is stupid

Copped

EP is real nice actually, shame she's sidelining it

Track 4 and onwards are straight heaters

bump

new LP on the way lorainejames.bandcamp.com/album/building-something-beautiful-for-me
