“ There’s this thing in L’Rain world,” Taja Cheek says, “if there’s an absurd idea, usually that’s the one we’ll follow and the one that we’ll pay attention to.” L’Rain has always been genre defiant, and that has not changed with fata morgana, which Taja Cheek calls the final chapter in a quadrilogy that started with her 2017 self-titled debut. “ I mean, the L’rain-ness will always be there because it’s me and I can’t get rid of it.” Our conversation with Taja gets into fata morgana‘s creation, the musicians who contribute, and how ice plays into its visual style. You can listen to the whole conversation on the July 27 episode of BV Interviews, which is available wherever you get your podcasts.
