The Best Album of 2021: “Fatigue” by L’Rain
“Taja refrains from the familiar until she feels that the sonic journey has reached its logical conclusion, and the magnetic pull of normality is at its climax. The tension is the meat and potatoes of this album, and the release nothing but a condiment that helps the consumer tie it all together, digest it, compare it.”

“I am fascinated by the way our natural environment can be both revered romantically and somehow also a source of disgust and guilt, and I want my works to draw you in and weird you out at the same time.”
