Whatever The Weather
Description:
The titles of Whatever The Weather are all expressed in temperature numbers, simple parameters that allow her to focus on the nuances that help set the mood. Her floating universe fluctuates, freezing, thawing, shaking, and blossoming with each song. She describes her approach based on jamming in sessions as "free-flowing, stopping when I feel like I'm done," allowing her subconscious to take the lead. The improvisation has an intrinsic fluidity, like sudden weather passing over one environment. The location feels fixed, but the situation changes. The album opens with "25°C," a sun-drenched song with soft humming and keyboards. This is the longest track, the point at which the mild winds rise and fall in bliss, and although it gives the impression of stability, its aspect is naturally temporary, as her work tends to favor organized chaos. From this utopia, she plummets into the most melancholic "0°C," where floating, isolated synth lines traverse a storm of chilling beats and static electricity.The following track, "17°C," mixes bouncy keyboards with samples of car horns, screeching brakes, and pedestrian crossing conversations in a killer IDM-tinged tune that runs through a jungle-drummin' set of oddball breakbeats. For this part of the piece, Loraine veers toward the neo-classical, with flowing piano keys and warm delays for somber vignettes. The final track of the first half, "2°C (Intermittent Rain)," ends with a short, stormy loop, while "10°C" permeates a sense of resetting. Intuitively mixing sounds over an echoed organ, it locks in and out of atypical rhythms that suggest a jazz orientation. Both "4°C" and "30°C" illustrate the range of her vocal experimentation, the former with rhythmic, otherworldly effects, the latter with the most straightforward singing (she cites Deftones' Chino Moreno and American football's Mike Kinsella as inspirations) The two are the most straightforward of the two.The album closes with "36°C," which, like the opening track "25°C," has a pleasant synthesizer chorus that serves as a fitting bookend to this flying collection. Cyclical, seasonal, and unpredictable, it is exactly what its name implies, an unmistakable masterpiece of '20s electronica that traverses the ambient-IDM spectrum. (2/2)
