About the Event
Mexican duo Lorelle Meets the Obsolete return during these dark October days with their seventh album. It’s sung mostly in Spanish and should be filed under uneasy listening. Mashing up electronic shadings with washes of noisy psych and shoegaze, it is a tough record to put your arms around. They’ve been compared to Primal Scream, but I’d also toss in Sonic Youth in parts. Opening track ‘Regresar / Recordar’ (To Remember / To Return) is the lengthy first single, with warped sonics surrounding brighter sounding melodic textures. ‘Ker’ veers closer to post-punk and has a chilly, fuzzed out vibe to it. It could be soundtracked in a dystopian sci-fi movie! But it’s actually about the struggles women have reclaiming rights over their own bodies. (ECHOES & DUST)
