Episode 547: L’Rain

Fatigue arrived like a breath of fresh air. The album is alternately complex and calming, but also deeply felt. The LP is Taja Cheek’s second under the L’Rain name, arriving in 2021.

It’s a mix of soul, jazz, rock and field recordings, output into something wholly new.

The Brooklyn native is a classically trained pianist and cellist, who began playing bass in rock bands during high school.

She’s also served as a curator for MoMA PS1, a job well served by a keen eye for the power of juxtaposition.
