Loraine James just dropped a surprise. It's Nothing Personal landed today, Bandcamp Friday, that blessed holiday when underground records fall from the sky unbidden. The London producer knows how to keep us on our toes. This one arrives just months after Detached From The Rest Of You, the LP stacked with collabs: Tirzah, Anysia Kym, Low's Alan Sparhawk, Cibo Matto's Miho Hatori. That was a stunner. This is the follow-up nobody saw coming.
James has been building this world for years. Go back to 2019's For You And I, or 2021's Reflection, and you hear a producer bending electronic music into something restless and warm and deeply human. She never sits still. She never repeats herself.
Now this: a Bandcamp-only surprise, no rollout, no lead single, just a full LP dropped on the best day to buy it. That's the move. Support the artist, grab the record, let it wash over you.
A killer gem from one of the sharpest minds in electronic music right now.
