Pre-Order: Lorelle Meets The Obsolete - Corporal
Neon Orange LP. Release date is October 10.
--------------
Lorelle Meets The Obsolete return with their seventh album, Corporal, on October 10. It’s the Mexican duo’s finest, most ferocious work to date which sees them turbo-charge their psychedelic post-punk with a new electronic engine. Mixed by Antoine Goulet (live sound engineer for SUUNS) and mastered by Mikey Young (Eddy Current Suppression Ring), the most obvious comparison in terms of mood and mode is Primal Scream’s classic XTRMNTR, another record that processed personal and political conflicts and spat them out as distorted dance music. It shows the influence of the duo’s DJ sets and last year’s radical Remezcla remix collection on their way of thinking and why they are now namechecking the likes of Moor Mother, MF DOOM, Patrick Cowley, The Bug, Paula Garcés, Phil Kieran, Coby Sey, Run the Jewels and Anadol.
“Playing other artists’ music is different,” says Lorena Quintanilla about the change of direction towards the dancefloor. “You’re not just listening, you’re watching how energy flows and how it affects other people. It gives you the chance to witness what moves other bodies.” And Corporal, as the title suggests, is all about the body. “The body is what carries the weight of stress, exhaustion, sadness. It’s the body that the system breaks first,” explains Lorena. “Unintentionally, while composing the album, our bodies were seeking joy in the songs. Reconnecting with pleasure became a way to open new dimensions – a way to escape, yet remain present.” The theme is carried over into the lyrics which, according to Lorena, variously refer to “the bodies that disappear, the abused bodies, the bodies we miss, the bodies that march together in protest, the bodies that are being controlled”.
