L’Rain has announced her fourth album, fata morgana, arriving August 14 on Mexican Summer. Along with the announcement, Taja Cheek has shared a new single, ‘soulless cycle’, which spirals through waves of distortion – it’s unlike anything she’s put out before. Check it out via director Mackai Sharp’s video below.
Cheek worked on the follow-up to 2023’s I Killed Your Dog with longtime collaborators Ben Chapoteau-Katz and Andrew Lappin. According to a press release, it “was conceived and crafted around a central question in Cheek’s life: How do you grow in a world not meant for you to thrive in? Across the album’s electrifying, genre-obscuring 13 tracks, the sources of resilience and resistance that Cheek returns to center on a self-reliance forged from uninhabitability; the Rose of Jericho, a desert plant adapted to survive for long periods without water, and the bioluminescent creatures of the deep sea who produce their own light.”
