RELEASE: 9/14/2018 LIST PRICE: $19.98 / CR Reversed audio swells in track endings and beginnings obscure vocal content, exploring the same track from multiple angles and with different meanings. Reprised piano tape loops reflect Cheek’s formal music TRACKLISTING (Click Tracks In Blue To Preview Audio) education, during which she would fixate on a phrase of piano sheet music and play it repeatedly, imagining new songs. The baroque pop aspects 1. Heavy (But Not in Wait) of L’Rain are marked by a childlike levity, deepening and mystifying the 2. Stay, Go (Go, Stay) painful reality Cheek faced as an adult during its production: the loss of her mother. 3. Bat

4. Alive and a Wake Cheek’s mother became suddenly ill during the album’s writing and 5. Benediction production, but grief appears in the recordings in a complicated way. The 6. A Toes (Shelf Inside Your Head) lyrics never explicitly mention her mother, as the songs were written with 7. Go, Stay (Stay, Go) unrelated sorrow in mind. But by the end of producing L’Rain, the work turned out to be very much about her mother. “It’s almost like I caused 8. July 14th, 2015 her death in some way — the feeling is absurd, bigger than myself, a 9. Which Fork / I’ll Be premonition.”

L’Rain comes off at times as morbid, pessimistic, and flippant while at other times smiley, bubbly, and effervescent. Like pressing play, fast forward, and rewind all at once, Cheek wanted to present a range of emotions through her minimalist experiments. The result is particular and real, yet impossible and panchromatic: a loop within a loop. Take ‘Benediction,’ a field recording that voyeuristically follows religious practitioners just outside their place of worship. L’Rain locates a spiritual dimension just beyond her listeners’ experience, in the recursive logic of her own hearing.
