Persuasion

Three projects oscillating between experimental music, indie rock, noise, folk music and more.

L'Rain is a project by Brooklyn-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and curator Taja Cheek, whose out-of-genre sound draws from both her classical education, DIY scene and noise. After the acclaimed albums “Fatigue” and “I Killed Your Dog”, she returns with “fata morgana”, which mixes experimental rock with dub, specific music and dream pop.

Manchester quartet Mandy, Indiana chews rock, dance music, trap and noise to spit out something entirely of their own. After the acclaimed debut album “I've Seen a Way”, their new work collides hyperpop with blues rock and casual experimentation.

One Leg One Eye is a project by Ian Lynch, founder of the band Lankum, and producer George Brennan, in which folk music enters darker areas and field recordings are combined with the sounds of guitars and electronics. Their music draws on Celtic folklore and black metal. The result is a somber, ritualistic and transcendent sound.
