Loraine James announces a new EP 'Nothing' on Hyperdub

This will be her sophomore release on Hyperdub

Following the success of last year’s full length album ‘For You And I’, Loraine James has announced the release of a new EP ‘Nothing’. It will be released via Hyperdub on October 2.

Lead single ‘Don’t You See It?’ features HTRK frontwoman Jonnine Standish and is a luscious, tender and expansive track that pieces seemingly incompatible sounds and textures together to provoke a heartswell.

Speaking on her lyrics, Standish has commented that they’re a reflection on moving on from a destructive relationship: “Just thinking about someone is a direct energy force that can hold that person unconsciously and your energy can get messy, and tied up together like a knot.”

‘Nothing’ is an EP littered with collaborations. After reaching out publicly for collaborators, James found an eclectic mix of artists, like Uruguayan singer and producer Lila Tirdo a Violeta and Farsi language rapper Tardast.
