Last year, London electronic producer Loraine James released Whatever The Weather II, the second album from her ambient alter-ego Whatever The Weather, and collaborated with artists like Purelink and Shapednoise. Today, James announces a new album called Detached From The Rest Of You, the first one released under her own name since 2023's Gentle Confrontation.
In a press release, Loraine James refers to Detached From The Rest Of You as her "IDM popstar album" and says, "I'm using my voice a lot more, and putting it higher in the mix than I usually would. I guess I'm growing some confidence." The LP includes contributions from artists like Alan Sparhawk, Tirzah, Anysia Kym, and Cibo Matto's Miho Hatori. The muted, evocative single "In A Rut" features Baltimore-born, New York-based singer and sound artist Sydney Spann. Check out that song and the tracklist below.
