​Loraine James reveals new alias ‘Whatever The Weather’

Loraine James is bringing out music under a new alias: Whatever The Weather, with her next LP coming to Ghostly International this April.

The producer’s second alias will also see the release of her second LP, a self-titled release due to drop on April 8. The record will boast 11 tracks, one of which dropped on Wednesday, February 2, titled ‘17°C’.

“Thank you so much for the love of the first single ‘17°C’. started this album whilst finishing ‘Reflection’ and really can't wait to share it with you guys,” James said on her next release.

“There’s a song in there with a melody I made when I was 13 and finally used it in a song,” she added.

The record's lead single ‘17°C’ also arrived alongside a new music video on Ghostly directed by Michael Reisinger, filmed in Colorado's Great Sand Dunes.

Loraine James’ new project will see James shift from last year-released ‘Reflections’, her debut LP via Hyperdub honing in on darker electronics, to more rhythmic, choppy, and vocal cuts in ‘Whatever The Weather’.
