Loraine James has announced a new LP, Gentle Confrontation, which is scheduled for release on September 22 via Hyperdub. It features contributions from Marina Herlop, keiyaA, George Riley, Eden Samar, and more. Today, the London producer has previewed it with the track ‘2003’, which introduces the album’s core themes of “relationships (especially familial), understanding, and giving back a little grace and care.” Listen to it below.
Last year, James released her self-titled debut under the moniker Whatever the Weather, as well as Building Something Beautiful for Me, an album reimagining, reinterpreting, and responding to the work of American composer Julius Eastman.
