L'Rain
L’Rain’s artistic evolution eschews overarching narratives. Multi-layered in subject and form, L’Rain’s sonic explorations interrogate instead how multiplicities of emotion and experience intersect with identity. The experimental and the hyper-commercial; the expectation and the reality; the hope and the despair. L’Rain is searching for balance in the obliteration of binary logic.
L’Rain is the musical project of multi-instrumentalist, composer, performer, and curator, Taja Cheek. Alongside Andrew Lappin and Ben Chapoteau-Katz, she has developed L’Rain into a shape-shifting entity that blurs the distinction between band and individual. At once personal and collaborative, it mirrors the journey that brought L’Rain into being to begin with.
Growing up in Brooklyn, Cheek found her feet at the centre of a vibrant DIY community in the first half of the 2010s, playing noise music and hosting concerts in her basement with the likes of Dreamcrusher and TV On The Radio’s Kyp Malone.

The words of this song were written at different periods of time to give a sense of what it’s like to think through the trajectory of a relationship at different points of life. I’m figuring out what it feels like when you’ve forgotten a part of yourself and how time passes differently at different moments in your life. I never really know how to set new terms of engagement with someone I’ve interacted with in a very specific way for a long time. I can’t really deal with the turmoil of stepping into the unknown after a period of fierce intimacy. It’s the ♋️🦀 in me! (Water signs I know you get it…)
Thank you for listening and for all the love! I want to share more asap. All in due time…
