Does anything sound like L'Rain?

I want a Human Synthtipede.

Am I wasting time looking for cds by the band. Still the way I consume music in my bedroom at least

huge step up from fatigue fuiud

If Discogs is to be believed, she is not a fan of the CD format. (Believe me, I keep checking, too!) If anyone interviews her in this or a future cycle, you should ask her about it.

Firing this up now!

probably her best yet though it's still a bit fragmented with the interludes

I just like having the physical media so I can rediscover it a while after I last played it and think oh wow should have played this more.
Apart from having the thingto play at the time.
A set of audiofiles needs a different player.

But have enjoyed what I've heard so far.

i'm not sure releasing cds makes much sense at all for indie acts below a certain level of popularity

probably not but would help me.
I#m still consuming music that way. & need something to listen to in my bedroom.
& does mean longevity to me.

Even some fairly low-key indie artists sometimes sell CDs via Bandcamp (looks like L’Rain just has vinyl, tho)

Is l'rain's new album the second King's new album which will never be released?

The interludes feel pretty effective here, I think. "I Hate My Best Friends" like a bit of fresh air at that point of the record.

Not everything here works perfectly (and maybe I'll end up liking Fatigue more when all is said and done?), but it's quite apparent that L'Rain actually loves (or perhaps is just very very driven) to make music. She's always happy to entertain another idea. Not a lot of "will this do?" on her records.

Bravo.

Did we ever answer the question in the thread's title?

Or has anyone come along in the 5.5 years since who fits the bill?

think we decided keiyaA wasn't too far off, that's as close as I can think, still not that close

I relistened to the new one last night for 2023 list ordering purposes, was lovely

"Pet Rock" reminds me of Unknown Mortal Orchestra a bit

last year's corinne bailey rae album was on a somewhat similar wavelength
